[RADIATOR-ANNOUNCE] Support for IPv6 address allocation and prefix delegation via DHCPv6

[Heikki Vatiainen]

Hello All,

We are pleased to announce that Radiator now supports IPv6 address 
allocation and prefix delegation via new module AddressAllocator DHCPv6.

AddressAllocator DHCPv6 works in conjunction with AuthBy DYNADDRESS and 
a DHCPv6 server to dynamically allocate IPv6 addresses and prefixes, and 
to request other configuration information. Both stateless and stateful 
DHCPv6 configuration is supported.

The information returned from DHCPv6 can be replied back to the 
requesting RADIUS client with standard or vendor specific RADIUS 
attributes such as Delegated-IPv6-Prefix, Framed-IPv6-Prefix and 
Framed-IPv6-Address.

Other features include support for Rapid Commit option and automatic 
handling of statically assigned IPv6 addresses and prefixes. If the 
RADIUS reply already includes an address or a prefix or both, this 
information is not requested from DHCPv6, allowing Radiator to fetch the 
remaining information with a stateful or stateless DHCPv6 query.

Support for AddressAllocator DHCPv6, along with sample configurations 
and testing  guidelines are available in the latest Radiator patch set 
for Radiator 4.15.

Support for IPv6 address allocation and prefix delegation using SQL and 
other backends will be available later.

Thanks,
Heikki
