DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (DHCPv6-PD) is an IETF RFC that lets a router delegate a long-lived prefix, using DHCP, to a requesting router. The hosts discuss how this is used today both by service providers and in the enterprise, and potential impacts on address allocation and planning.

IPB138: Making Sense Of DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (DHCPv6-PD)
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (DHCPv6-PD) is an IETF RFC that lets one router delegate a long-lived prefix, using DHCP, to a requesting router. What’s the need for this? As the RFC notes, some applications expect stable addresses. It also notes: It is appropriate for situations in which the delegating router does not have knowledge about the...
