alt Hacker News>In what universe does implementing DHCP-PD but not 'regular' DHCPv6 make any kind of sense?
Their policy makes a lot of sense. It's hindering ipv6 deployment, but it is preventing ISPs from allocating less than /64 to customers. It has nothing to do with standards actually.
Dhcp-pd makes a lot of sense though, because if an isp is willing to give you a prefix, they are by default nice guys.

You really think they’re doing all of this as some elaborate “all or nothing” v6 deployment bargaining chip?
This is about client devices on home and corporate networks connecting to (e.g.) Wifi, and not about ISP connections and addresses on the WAN port of your home router.
Why should my Pixel 10 send out DHCP-PD packets when it connects to Wifi, but not DHCPv6?
