How do we retrieve vendor information vendor specific information (vivso) received from DHCPv6 server to the hook script. This should include the vendor class and all the options for this vendor.

See dhcpcd-definitions.conf in the source:

define6 17      embed                   vivso
embed           uint32                  enterprise_number
# Vendor options are shared between DHCP/DHCPv6
# Their code is matched to the enterprise number defined above
# See the end of this file for an example

...

# Vendor-Identifying Vendor Options
# An example:
#vendopt 12345  encap                   frobozzco
#encap 1        string                  maze_location

Also, how to retrieve NTP server information received from DHCPv6 server.

Enable option ntp_servers in /etc/dhcpcd.conf

# dhcpcd -dB6T --noipv6rs --ia_na 2>/dev/null | grep ntp
new_dhcp6_sntp_servers=fd73:7808:1015::2

Good luck!
