README

        
This is the WIDE-DHCPv6 client maintained by the OPNsense project.

Improvements include the following:

- Reload the client configuration on SIGHUP

- Removed all unused binaries except dhcp6c

- Raw option send and receive support

- PDINFO delegated prefixes environment variable

- Accept interfaces from the configuration file

- Allow assigning the prefix to the WAN interface

- Several relevant patches from Debian

- Extended prefix-interface ifid options

It is based on a patched version of WIDE-DHCPv6 maintained by [email protected].

Improvements include the following:

- Increased log verbosity.

- Fix socket leakage by setting FD_CLOEXEC.

- Call a configuration script after addresses and prefixes are set

  on an interface.

- Update ifid on interface restart, it may have changed.

- "-n" flag to prevent address release from being sent to the DHCP server

  upon restart.

WIDE-DHCPv6

	WIDE-DHCPv6 is an open-source implementation of Dynamic Host

	Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) developed by the KAME

	project.

	The implementation mainly conforms to the following standards:

	- RFC3315: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)

	- RFC3319: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) Options 

         	   for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Servers

	- RFC3633: IPv6 Prefix Options for Dynamic Host Configuration

	           Protocol (DHCP)

	- RFC3646: DNS Configuration options for Dynamic Host

	           Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)

	- RFC4075: Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Configuration

	           Option for DHCPv6

	- RFC4242: Information Refresh Time Option for Dynamic Host

	           Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)

	All the components of the main protocol are provided, i.e.,

	DHCPv6 clients, servers, and relay agents.

	Supported message types are as follows:

	  Solicit, Advertise, Request, Renew, Rebind, Release, Reply,

	  Information-request, Relay-forward and Relay-reply.

	Note that the current implementation does not support IPv6

	temporary address allocation by DHCPv6, and there is no plan to

	implement that feature at the moment.
