Hello all,

In 9.9 and 9.10 of the -16 draft the DHCPv6 relay message headers and the
option headers align on a 16 bit boundary. Could two octets be inserted
between the prefix-length field and the relay address field in order to
align the relay address field and the options on 4 octet (32 bit)
boundaries?

I'm thinking of making the implementation easier by casting the DHCPv6
message forwarded by the relay to something like:

struct relay_fwd_msg {
   char msg-type;
   char prefix_len;
   struct in6_addr;
   int *opts;
}
