I would consider DHCPv6 a bonus for this project, and DHCPv4 a requirement.

I consider the dmd event loop to be outside of this project. However, there’s a close relation with both things, so you’ll have to pay a lot of attention to it. Depending on how far you go, you may want to adjust dmd to fit your needs. > I'll start working on the first draft of my proposal now, and will make > sure to incorporate your feedback as I update it.
