[lwip-devel] [task #12406] Add DHCPv6

[Harald Johansen]

Follow-up Comment #3, task #12406 (project lwip):

Stateless DHCPv6 (i.e. Information Request - RFC 3736) is often needed to
retrieve DNS (and SIP) server address(es). This is especially valid in an
IPv6-only network.

Stateless DHCPv6 runs fine as an addon to SLAAC: The network informs the
clients the support for it through the M/O-bits in the RA message during
SLAAC.

To make use of IPv6 DNS server address(es), I think the LwIP DNS client need
to be enhanced with support for transmitting on IPv6?
