I tried to compile (with success) the PCP client library with
the Visual Studio 11 beta, just made available yesterday.

I jumped on DHCPv4 over IPv6, created a rt28195 branch.
I cloned the dhcrelay to dhccra and dhctra, updated the manual
and began to code the dhccra. Currently I removed the extra code
(a CRA is simpler than a DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 relay :-), I have
to add the IPv6 I/O part. IMHO I'll have to change some details
in the I/O system (socket.c) because it is too dedicated to DHCPv6
(for instance it tries hard to set/get the interface when I need
in fact only basic sendto/recvfrom...).
I think I'll be able to send DHCPv4 requests over IPv6 for this
weekend, wireshark should be able to decode them (it is possible
to force a dissector if it refuses to handle UDPv6 port 67/68 as
DHCPv4...).

For the DHCP people, I need a subcode number for 6ADDR. I'll take
46 if there is no better proposal.

Another point: I believe I'll do the TRA before the TSV even the TRA
is not in the CPE SOW: it is simpler to code and should make testing
simpler as it should work with a standard server with no or very small
modifs.
