That is great, it will be very usefull for us to discuss problems and solutions.
  I hope, everybody will be active in the group...
  Thank you Tomasz...
   
  Todays, i am reading RFC3315. I have a question.... There are a lot of DHCPv6 messsages and options... But i could not find a relation between them... I need a list, which message  may have which options... And, which option is related to DNS...
  Thanks everybody...

  Hi everybody,

Since things has started to move lately, I think it's time to start a 
mailing list for people developing and contributing to the Dibbler 
project.

There are several efforts (with various maturity levels). Let me write a 
few words about each of them:

* Security option
Gursoy Durmus [Turkey] is doing his master thesis related to DHCPv6. He is 
interested in security. He has decided to implement "delayed 
authentication- RFC3118, 2nd method" in Dibbler. Since some guy 
from India waits for that security feature, Gursoy estimated that he will 
need 1 month for a Dibbler source code analysis, 1.5 month for security 
mechanism design and 1.5 months for implementation. Gursoy is focued on 
the windows environment.

* FQDN
Adrien Clerc [France] is a leader of a group of 6 students working on a 
short time project about IPv6 autoconfiguration. Their goal is to 
implement some functionnalities such as DNS updates. Adrien's team has 
already implemented partial FQDN support in client and server. FQDN 
options are exchanged, server reads fqdn-related data from a file, but the 
dns update is not yet performed. Adrien is working on an integration of a 
separate library required to perform dns update.

* Other extensions
Another 2 students (soon to be) involved in the project are Krzysiek Wnuk 
and Michal Kowalczuk [Poland]. Their master thesis' subjects are related to 
implementation of different DHCPv6 options. As for now, they focus on the 
theoretical research and have not yet decided, what exactly are they going 
to implement.

* Temporary addresses
That's my part. You know me, but just for a case if someone will 
browse this mail list archives, my name is Tomek Mrugalski 
[Poland]. Besides general code cleanup, I'm working on a temporary 
addresses support (IA_TA option). I have received several requests 
for that option, so it will be implemented. Both server and client 
properly read new options from config files and they're able to send IA_TA 
options, but the addresses are not granted yet.

Ok, that seems to be all for now. If you have any questions, don't 
hesitate to write.
