The radvd package provides for "stateless" configuration as per RFC 2462 / RFC 4862. What about "stateful" configuration as per RFC 3315, otherwise known as DHCPv6? Seems that the "dibbler" software might a good choice for that: http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/

Another option would be ISC DHCP4.1. Maybe we can consolidate all the various dhcp related packages with that? I'm not shure how actively dibbler is developed. --Kapeka 18:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I have been testing dibbler a little. Its last update was 2010-09-17. My Buildtool configuration and the 0.8RC1 source code is in my "devel" area of CVS if anyone is interested: http://leaf.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/leaf/devel/davidmbrooke/src/bering-uclibc4/source/dibbler/

NIST (the United States "National Institute for Standards and Technology") published a draft document "Guidelines for the Secure Deployment of IPv6" on 2011-02-22. Document reference is "SP 800-119". Link to draft version is here (but note that location might change if the draft gets published formally). Davidmbrooke 17:51, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
