This has changed. The prefix is not likely to be needed.
 
The IA option is likely to contain something different from the DUID (perhaps just an IA id). The DUID is (hopefully) going to appear elsewhere in the message and truely be a client level identifier. An IA id or something similar will likely be used to specify the address binding for the DUID.
 
We'll have to wait for the -19 draft to find out exactly how this will be dealt with unless Ralph posts something sooner.

Subject: option IA

hello, 
- Just to make a little thing clearer : in draft-v18, section 16.2, should i read 
option-len Variable; equal to 18 + num-addrs*26 (instead of 25) ? 
- About the definition of client-binding : 
    A binding is indexed by the tuple <prefix, DUID>, where the 'prefix' is a prefix assigned to the link to which the client is attached and 'DUID' is the DUID from the IA in the binding. 
Does it mean all addresses in an IA have the same prefix ? 
Is this prefix based on an eventually relay-address/prefix length received in a forward message ? 

thanks you all for your help
