10. Delegating Router Solicitation
10.1 Requesting router behaviour
The requesting router creates and transmits a Solicit message as described in sections "Creation of Solicit Messages" and "Transmission of Solicit Messages" of the DHCP specification [6]. The requesting router creates an IA_PD and assigns it an IAID. The requesting router MUST include the IA_PD option in the Solicit message.
The requesting router processes any received Advertise messages as described in section "Receipt of Advertise Messages" in the DHCP specification [6]. The requesting router MAY choose to consider the presence of advertised prefixes in its decision about which delegating router to respond to.
The requesting router MUST ignore any Advertise message that includes a Status Code option containing the value NoPrefixAvail, with the exception that the requesting router MAY display the associated status message to the user.
15. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to assign option codes to these options from the option-code space as defined in section "DHCPv6 Options" of the DHCPv6 specification [6].
IANA is requested to assign a status code to the NoPrefixAvail status code from the status-code space as defined in section "Status Codes" of the DHCPv6 specification [6].

17. DHCP Server Solicitation
17.1. Client Behavior
17.1.3. Receipt of Advertise Messages
The client MUST ignore any Advertise message that includes a Status Code option containing the value NoAddrsAvail, with the exception that the client MAY display the associated status message to the user.
Upon receipt of one or more valid Advertise messages, the client selects one or more Advertise messages based upon the following criteria.
- Those Advertise messages with the highest server preference value are preferred over all other Advertise messages.
- Within a group of Advertise messages with the same server preference value, a client MAY select those servers whose Advertise messages advertise information of interest to the client. For example, the client may choose a server that returned an advertisement with configuration options of interest to the client.
- The client MAY choose a less-preferred server if that server has a better set of advertised parameters, such as the available addresses advertised in IAs.
Once a client has selected Advertise message(s), the client will typically store information about each server, such as server preference value, addresses advertised, when the advertisement was received, and so on.
If the client needs to select an alternate server in the case that a chosen server does not respond, the client chooses the next server according to the criteria given above.
