my main point is if you're going to have a fixed time value, you may
as well omit the time value entirely and use a DUID-LL rather than
the default DUID-LLT (DUID's have three distinct formats).
you should see the leading octets like this in a DUID-LLT;
00:01:00:01
then 4 bytes of time, then 6 bytes of ethernet mac.
instead, a DUID-LL starts out;
00:03:00:01
followed by 6 bytes of ethernet mac. the third and fourth octets,
'00:01', in both these cases is the 'htype'. 1 is just ethernet.
example; sending a DUID-LL (a different DUID-LL on every interface)
with ISC dhclient;
send dhcp6.client-id = concat(00:03:00, hardware);
