IPv6 Network - Linux DHCPv6 The DHCPv6 project found on SourceForge (http://dhcpv6.sourceforge.net/) is based on the KAME DHCPv6 implementation. It’s not a straight Linux port: it also adds address assignment. Despite the claim on the project Web site that it supports all POSIX systems, the source won’t compile under FreeBSD or MacOS. In my tests, this implementation didn’t work very well. For instance, the dhcp6c was unable to successfully create a DUID. Also, there doesn’t appear to be a way to put the information learned through DHCPv6 to good use, as the script configuration command isn’t implemented.
