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...

Today we debate its technoloyg is reaching a stable phase. Greg argues that we are in a period of stability, citing resistance to change and a slowdown in advancements. Johna believes that the rise of quantum computing and AI will lead to significant disruptions. They also discuss the future of AI and quantum computing, with Johna predicting a transformative impact by 2026, while Greg suggests a slower adoption due to existing heavy investments in technology.
