Hi I noticed that my Nexus 9 tablet did not have any IPv6 although everything else in my house is IPv6 enabled. Then I noticed that my Samsung S6 was also without IPv6. Hmm. A little work with tcpdump and I got this: 03:27:15.978826 IP6 (hlim 255, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 120) fe80::222:7ff:fe49:ffad > ip6-allnodes: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, router advertisement, length 120 hop limit 0, Flags [*managed*, other stateful], pref medium, router lifetime 1800s, reachable time 0s, retrans time 0s source link-address option (1), length 8 (1): 00:22:07:49:ff:ad mtu option (5), length 8 (1): 1500 prefix info option (3), length 32 (4): 2a00:7660:5c6::/64, Flags [onlink, *auto*], valid time 7040s, pref. time 1800s unknown option (24), length 16 (2): 0x0000: 3000 0000 1b80 2a00 7660 05c6 0000 So my CPE is actually doing DHCPv6 and some nice people at Google decided that it will be better for me to be without IPv6 in that case :-(.

Your device may be getting an address, but without a recursive DNS server it may be useless. If you're going to do SLAAC you'll also need to supply your client with a recursive DNS server. Android prefers RFC 6106. As you mentioned, Google has decided not to support DHCPv6 in Android. Unfortunately some router manufacturers are only now getting around to implementing RFC 6106.

Hello, This is a question a should test myself but anyhow I would like to hear your comments. What happen (on the client side/Android maybe) if I advertise the DNS information in the RA and I also enable the O bit? Thanks, Alejandro, El 10/6/2015 a las 8:39 PM, Bruce Horth escribió:

The Android client should ignore the O-flag and just use the information in the RA. Windows clients will ignore the DNS option in the RA and do a DHCP request for the Other information. My understanding is you can enabled the O-flag for stateless DHCPv6 and set the RA DNS option at the same time. This configuration should work on networks that have a mix of Windows and Android clients (seeing as Windows clients do not natively support RFC6106).

Yes, SLAAC by default provides the address and default gateway (RA) If SLAAC managed flag is set, then DHCPv6 is used get the address and other configs (DNS, etc..) If SLAAC other flag is set, then SLAAC provides the address, and uses DHCPv6 to get the other configs (DNS, etc..) With SLAAC and without DHCPv6 the device has no way of knowing the DNS server and other configs such as search domain, etc... RFC 6106 provides a new feature that allows devices to obtain DNS from RA, but not all devices and network equipment support it yet. For devices that don't support RFC 6106 or DHCPv6, then it has to use IPv4 (DHCPv4) to get the IPv4 DNS address. -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Nicholas Warren Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 11:21 AM To: Dave Bell <me@geordish.org> Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: RE: Android and DHCPv6 again Excuse my ignorance, but can DHCPv6 and SLAAC be run in parallel?

Hi,
SLAAC by default provides the address and default gateway (RA) If SLAAC managed flag is set, then DHCPv6 is used get the address and other configs (DNS, etc..) If SLAAC other flag is set, then SLAAC provides the address, and uses DHCPv6 to get the other configs (DNS, etc..)
It's even more flexible than that :) The Managed flag indicates if there is a DHCPv6 server that can provide addresses and other config The Other Config flag indicates if there is a DHCPv6 server that can provide other config Besides those flags each prefix that is advertised in the RA has an Autonomous flag which tells the clients if they are allowed to do SLAAC. So you can do all kinds of nice setups. For example you can advertise both the Managed and the Autonomous flags so that devices can get a DHCPv6-managed address (maybe for running services or for remote management) and get SLAAC addresses (for example for privacy extensions so they cannot be identified by their address when connecting to the internet). Or you can advertise multiple prefixes and allow Autonomous configuration in one and provide addresses in the other with DHCPv6. I admit that you can also make things extremely complex for yourself, but it's certainly flexible! ;) Cheers, Sander

That would indeed be a bug, but I'm not aware of such a bug. As long as the network provides SLAAC as well as DHCPv6, IPv6 should work. If anyone can reproduce this on a Nexus device, please file a bug. Android 5.x does have a bug where if you send the device a default route via RA and don't provide addressing via SLAAC (i.e., if you do DHCPv6-only), and also have IPv6 on the cellular network, the device gets confused. That should be fixed in 6.0.
Hi,
Android does not have a complete IPv6 implementation and should not be IPv6 enabled. Please do your part and complain to Google that Android does not support DHCPv6 for address assignment.
no different to other devices historically.... it can get IPv6 connectivity via SLAAC and then rely on DHCP (v4!) for getting IPv4 DNS servers to which it can send AAAA records. very much like OSX used to be..... alan
