** Abstract **
-odhcp6c is a minimalistic DHCPv6 client for use in embedded Linux systems.
+odhcp6c is a minimal DHCPv6 and RA-client for use in embedded Linux systems
+especially routers. It compiles to only about 30 KB (-Os -s).
** Features **
-1. Handling of non-temporary addresses
- a) assignment of addresses to source interface
- b) handling of valid and preferred lifetimes
- c) duplicate address detection
-
-2. Handling of IPv6-Prefixes (Prefix Delegation)
- a) requesting of prefixes
-
-3. Stateless fallback-support
-
-4. State script support
+1. IPv6 bootstrap from different environments with autodetection
+ a) RA only
+ b) RA + stateless DHCPv6
+ c) RA + stateful DHCPv6 (either IA_NA or IA_PD or both)
+
+2. Handling of non-temporary addresses (IA_NA)
+ a) handling of valid and preferred lifetimes
+ b) automatic fallback to stateless or PD-only mode
+
+3. Support for DHCPv6 extension
+ a) Reconfigure-Messages
+ b) Prefix Delegation (including handling of valid and preferred lifetimes)
+ c) Prefix Exclusion
+ d) DNS Configuration Options
+ e) NTP Options
+ f) SIP Options
+ g) Information-Refresh Options
+ h) Configurable SOL_MAX_RT
+ i) DS-Lite AFTR-Name Option
+ j) Softwire address and port mapped clients (MAP, LW4over6)
+ k) Prefix Class (experimental)
+ l) CER-ID (experimental)
+
+4. Support for requesting and parsing Router Advertisements
+ a) parsing of prefixes, routes, MTU and RDNSS options
** Compiling **
* started The DHCPv6 client has been started
* bound A suitable server was found and addresses or prefixes acquired
* informed A stateless information request returned updated information
-* timeout The DHCPv6 operation did not succeed within the defined time
* updated Updated information was received from the DHCPv6 server
+* ra-updated Updated information was received from via Router Advertisement
* rebound The DHCPv6 client switched to another server
* unbound The DHCPv6 client lost all DHCPv6 servers and will restart
* stopped The DHCPv6 client has been stopped
* SNTP_FQDN A space-separated list of SNTP server FQDNs
* SIP_IP A space-separated list of SIP servers
* SIP_DOMAIN A space-separated list of SIP domains
-* OPTION_<num> Custom option received as base-16
+* OPTION_<num> Custom option received as base-16
* PREFIXES A space-separated list of prefixes currently assigned
- Format: <prefix>/<length>,preferred,valid

+* ADDRESSES A space-separated list of addresses currently assigned
+ Format: <address>/<length>,preferred,valid
+* RA_ADDRESSES A space-separated list of addresses from RA-prefixes
+ Format: <address>/<length>,preferred,valid
+* RA_ROUTES A space-separated list of routes from the RA
+ Format: <address>/<length>,gateway,valid,metric
+* RA_DNS A space-separated list of recursive DNS servers from the RA
+* AFTR The DS-Lite AFTR domain name
