Hi Gert,
you are right its a bit unusual and you may very well consider it bad
practice and if I have enough time it will hopefully solve it in a
better way at some point.
The reasoning behind this is that this way the DHCPv6 (PD) server can
easily learn about the whole available prefix range and any lifetime
etc. changes immediately via Kernel netlink updates and thus reconfigure
clients and downstream routers easily if needed without a separate IPC
or configuration channel.
Of course it still sets up a more specific routes once a prefixes is
actually assigned to a downstream router so that routing works correctly.
Cheers,
Steven
