dhcpcd-discuss

Hi Roy,

I looked at the open issues list on your website, and didn't specifically see this item.  I was wondering if the FIXME on line 3532 of dhcp6.c will be addressed.

RFC 3315 indicates that a node "SHOULD" perform duplicate address detection upon receipt of a Reply and respond with a DECLINE message to the server if any of the addresses are in use on the link.  I also noticed in dhcp6.c that there is a comment "we should decline the address".  It appears that the DECLINE message is sent in the case of a DHCPv4 duplicate address.  Will future versions of dhcpcd send a DECLINE message for DHCPv6 address duplication?

Thanks for any insight you can provide, and apologize in advance for any dumb questions on my part.  Let me know if you would like me to open a ticket on this item.

Cheers,

Rod
