Hi, I have seen threads suggesting a method for invoking DHCPv6 PD using RS/RA
messaging. This is good validation, as we have been doing this for years in AERO/OMNI.
The delegated prefix is associated with the AERO/OMNI link as opposed to the native
underlying link. This allows support for multilink and mobility. Other important factors
such as segment routing and link adaptation (path MTU) are also in scope.

The drafts are easy to find, and have been around for years. But, here they are just
in case:
