Dear participants to MIF WG,

We just submitted "Prefix Delegation extension to Neighbor Discovery
protocol" draft-kaiser-nd-pd-00 available at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kaiser-nd-pd-00

During the fruitful discussions about DHCP and routes mention was made 
about potential extensions of ND to realize Prefix Delegation.  The 
discussion was that since we needed small unique-protocol software for 
autoconfiguring machine-class devices behind a Mobile Router we faced 
two potential development ways: either extend DHCP to do default route, 
or extend ND to do prefix delegation.

The ND-PD concept existed in drafts as early as 2000 and some aspects 
were protected since.

We kindly request comments about this.  Thanks in advance,

Alex
