It isn't. So what? If that's your requirement, run DHCPv6. Your
Android users can complain to whoever it is that supports Android.
for some silly reason, my customers don't think they pay me for
blame shifting. they just want things to work.
Yes. So not implementing DHCPv6 might be a self-defeating decision
by an operating system developer, don't you think?
and, let me repeat for the fourth time, enterprises of scale use
dhcp to drive clients to the desired exit.
Excuse my ignorance, but which DHCP options does that involve?
dhcp6 does not let
them do that. without feature parity we don't get to play.
Which is why I think RFC 8028 has value. It's intended to
support exit selection via first-hop selection.
