Code change:
states: | If IPv6 prefix delegation is available, which implies that IPv6 | service is also available on the infrastructure link, then the stub | router MAY use IPv6 prefix delegation to acquire a prefix to | advertise on the stub network, rather than allocating one out of its | ULA prefix. and 5.2.3: | Therefore, when DHCPv6-PD is available, the stub router MUST use DHCPv6 | PD rather than its own prefix. That's contradictory, I suppose 5.2.2 should say: | If IPv6 prefix delegation is available, which implies that IPv6 | service is also available on the infrastructure link, then the stub | router MUST use IPv6 prefix delegation to acquire a prefix to | advertise on the stub network, rather than allocating one out of its | ULA prefix. Or maybe just drop the last paragraph from 5.2.2 entirely. URL
Esko adds: What about the case where DHCPv6-PD is available, but the stub router doesn’t get the desired prefix length or encounters some error in the process? In that exceptional case it still MAY allocate a prefix out of its ULA prefix. Depending on the reader, “is available” and “works for me” can be different things.
My suggestion: Right, MAY would be way too unspecific in that case. MAY basically says "we aren't saying you shouldn't do this, nor that you mustn't do this." :) So I think as you say that what we really need here is to be more specific about exactly what "is available" means. So, perhaps: If IPv6 prefix delegation and IPv6 service is both available on the infrastructure link, then the stub router MUST attempt to acquire a prefix using IPv6 prefix delegation. and Therefore, when the stub router is able to successfully acquire a prefix using DHCPv6-PD, it MUST use DHCPv6 PD rather than its own self-generated ULA prefix.
Explain what to do if prefix is to narrow, and also if it is too wide. states: | If IPv6 prefix delegation is available, which implies that IPv6 | service is also available on the infrastructure link, then the stub | router MAY use IPv6 prefix delegation to acquire a prefix to | advertise on the stub network, rather than allocating one out of its | ULA prefix. and 5.2.3: | Therefore, when DHCPv6-PD is available, the stub router MUST use DHCPv6 | PD rather than its own prefix.

Or maybe just drop the last paragraph from 5.2.2 entirely. In my defence, I have been left unsupervised.

So when the only prefix that is available is the one provided by the stub router, cloud services will not be reachable via IPv6, and infrastructure- <del> provided NAT64 will not work.

Therefore, when the stub router is able to successfully acquire a prefix using DHCPv6 PD, it MUST use DHCPv6 PD rather than its own self-generated ULA prefix. A stub router SHOULD request stub network prefixes with length 64. If the stub router obtains a prefix with length less than 64, it SHOULD generate a /64 from the obtained prefix by padding with zeros. If the stub router obtains a prefix with length greater than 64, the stub router MUST treat the prefix as unusable and allocate a prefix out of its ULA prefix instead. </ins> 5.3.
