Re: IPv6 prefix delegation: avahi-daemon vs dhcpcd vs kernel

question about IPv6 support in sid: Whose job is it to bother
about the IPv6 addresses dynamically bound to eth0?
It depends what dynamic configuration method is used.
SLAAC (using router advertisements) is in kernelspace. However some
information which may be included in router advertisements such as DNS
related information are not managed by the kernel and must be managed in
userspace (DNS in general is not managed by the kernel).
DHCPv6 is in userspace (DHCPv6 client).
AFAIU the kernel sees the prefix delegation on eth0, sets the
old IPv6 address to "deprecated" and registers the new one.
Prefix delegation is a DHCPv6 feature. The kernel does managed it. Or do
you mean prefix information in router advertisements ?
