DHCPV6

'DHCPv6' is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6. Although IPv6's stateless address autoconfiguration removes the primary motivation for DHCP in IPv4, DHCPv6 can still be used to statefully assign addresses if the network administrator desires more control over addressing. It can also be used to distribute information which is not otherwise discoverable; the most important case of this is the DNS server.
