| I spent the rest of the evening reading the DHCPv6 RFC (RFC 3315) and started filling out dhcp6.h with the relevant types and defines I'll need later on to implement it. As I work I'm also thinking about how best to implement it for gPXE. It's hard to say what features will be of most interest at this stage, I will need to implement them to be sure. | I spent the rest of the evening reading the DHCPv6 RFC (RFC 3315) and started filling out dhcp6.h with the relevant types and defines I'll need later on to implement it.

| + | More reading of the DHCPv6 spec today. Getting a better idea of what the protocol is capable of - my main exposure to it has been in the software so far. It does seem quite well-thought-out, and as my work involves administering a network it's nice to see how some of the features will reduce the workload in the future. | ||

| + | [[http://git.etherboot.org/people/pcmattman/gpxe.git/commit/aa681cf20b0bccfd33afc2cdfd4df05dcebb2825|Tonight and yesterday's work]] - mainly getting dhcp6.h filled out as I read through the RFC. Hopefully I can start getting some code down soon - I'll definitely need to read the DHCPv4 code to get an idea of how to make things work. Certainly looking forward to throwing some DHCPv6 packets onto my network though! | ||
