/** @page dhcpv6 DHCPv6 Server Component BIND10 offers DHCPv6 server implementation. It is implemented as b10-dhcp6 component. Its primary code is located in isc::dhcp::Dhcpv6Srv class. It uses \ref libdhcp extensively, especially lib::dhcp::Pkt6, isc::dhcp::Option and isc::dhcp::IfaceMgr classes. Currently this code offers skeleton functionality, i.e. it is able to receive and process incoming requests and trasmit responses. However, it does not have database management, so it returns only one, hardcoded lease to whoever asks for it. DHCPv6 server component does not support relayed traffic yet, as support for relay decapsulation is not implemented yet. DHCPv6 server component does not use BIND10 logging yet. @section dhcpv6-session BIND10 message queue integration DHCPv4 server component is now integrated with BIND10 message queue. It follows the same principle as DHCPv4. See \ref dhcpv4Session for details. @section dhcpv6-config-parser Configuration Parser in DHCPv6 b10-dhcp6 component uses BIND10 cfgmgr for commands and configuration. During initial configuration (See \ref isc::dhcp::ControlledDhcpv6Srv::establishSession()), the configuration handler callback is installed (see isc::dhcp::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 isc::data::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 isc::dhcp::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 of them are generic (e.g. \ref isc::dhcp::Uint32Parser that is able to handle any unsigned 32 bit integer), but some are very specialized (e.g. \ref isc::dhcp::Subnets6ListConfigParser parses definitions of Subnet6 lists). In some cases, e.g. subnet6 definitions, the configuration entry is not a simple value, but a map or a list itself. In such case, the parser iterates over all elements and creates parsers for a given scope. This process may be repeated (sort of) recursively. @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 isc::dhcp::Uint32Parser and \ref isc::dhcp::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 isc::dhcp::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 isc::dhcp::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. Parameter inheritance is done during reconfiguration phase, as reconfigurations are rare, so extra logic here is not a problem. On the other hand, values of those parameters may be used thousands times per second, so its use must be as simple as possible. In fact, currently the code has to call Subnet6->getT1() and do not implement any fancy inheritance logic. @todo Add section about setting up options and their definitions with bindctl. */
