DHCPv6 is a network protocol that is used for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes and/or other
configurations required to operate on an IPv6 network.
IPv6 hosts can acquire IP addresses by using DHCPv6.
The DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) is used by a client to get an IP address from a DHCPv6 server. The server
compares the DUID with its database and delivers configuration data (address, lease times, DNS servers, etc.) to the
client.
