  @section dhcpv6-config-parser Configuration Parser in DHCPv6
 
  b10-dhcp6 component uses BIND10 cfgmgr for commands and configuration. During
- initial configuration (See \ref ControlledDhcpv6Srv::establishSession()),
- the configuration handler callback is installed 
- (see ControlledDhcpv6Srv::dhcp6ConfigHandler(). It is called every time there
- is a new configuration. In particular, it is called every time during daemon
- start process. It contains a ConstElementPtr to a new configuration. This
- simple handler calls \ref isc::dhcp::configureDhcp6Server() method that
- processes received configuration.

- This method iterates over list of received configuration elements and creates
- a list of parsers for each received entry. Parser is an object that is derived
- from a \ref Dhcp6ConfigParser class. Once a parser is created (constructor),
- its value is set (using build() method). Once all parsers are build, the
- configuration is then applied ("commited") and commit() method is called.

- All parsers are defined in src/bin/dhcp6/config_parser.cc file. Some

- any unsigned 32 bit integer), but some are very specialized
- (e.g. \ref Subnets6ListConfigParser parses definitions of Subnet6 lists). In

  @section dhcpv6-config-inherit DHCPv6 Configuration Inheritance
 
  One notable useful features of DHCP configuration is its parameter inheritance.
- For example, renew-timer value may be specified at a global scope and it
- then applies to all subnets. However, some subnets may have it overwritten
- with more specific values that takes precedence over global values that are
- considered defaults. Some parsers (e.g. \ref Uint32ConfigParser and
- \StringParser) implement that inheritance. By default, they store values in
- global uint32_defaults and string_defaults storages. However, it is possible
- to instruct them to store parsed values in more specific storages. That
- capability is used, e.g. in \ref Subnet6ConfigParser that has its own storage
- that is unique for each subnet. Finally, during commit phase (commit() method), 
- appropriate parsers can use apply parameter inheritance.

  Debugging configuration parser may be confusing. Therefore there is a special
- class called \ref DummyParser. It does not configure anything, but just accepts
- any parameter of any type. If requested to commit configuration, it will print
- out received parameter name and its value. This class is not currently used,

  but it is convenient to have it every time a new parameter is added to DHCP
  configuration. For that purpose it should be left in the code.
