I was doing some packet scanning on one of my IPv6 enabled servers and I
found traffic such as the following frequently (IPs slightly edited):
02:23:02.410360 IP6 fe80::ff78.546 > ff02::2.547: dhcp6 solicit
Not having done too much ipv6 packet scanning yet I am curious to know
if this is a mis-configured dhcp6 server somewhere? Is this a rather
common thing to see in IPv6 traffic?
The addresses are not mine, neither do I run a dhcpv6 daemon (no need
for it).
Thanks,
Jeroen
