You're confusing me even more - how does the patch relate to ipv6cp?
In ipv6cp, I am assigned a link-local address by the provider. I may be
wrong, but doesn't my peer expect that I use this link-local address in
its routing table in order to communicate with me? This means that I
cannot change the assigned link-local address.
Well I'm not sure about that but that but that was not what I meant.
Maybe my wording was a bit confusing as. IIRC pppd provides an option to
define the local interface identifier for use in IPv6CP and is then
hand-shaked with the peer. And as we by default use the
interface-identifier of the link-local address for the global addresses
as well this should equally do what you want with the nice side-effect
that the interface identifier of the LL-address matches those of the
global ones.
On the other hand, my peer doesn't care which IPv6 address I choose
inside the advertised prefix, and if it is related to the link-local or
not, so this is the address that I can change, and the client is the
only place where I can change it.
Yeah you're right, but honestly I still don't see the point of adding
this in the DHCPv6/RA-client rather than just configuring pppd. If
configuring ppp doesn't work for you we can reevaluate adding this
feature to odhcp6c instead.
