gollark: The system is also able to detect when there is no prefix available from an upstream interface and can switch into relaying mode automatically to extend the upstream interface configuration onto its downstream interfaces. This is useful for putting the target router behind another IPv6 router which doesn't offer prefixes via DHCPv6-PD.
gollark: OpenWrt features a versatile RA & DHCPv6 server and relay. Per default SLAAC and both stateless and stateful DHCPv6 are enabled on an interface. If there are any prefixes of size /64 or shorter present then addresses will be handed out from each prefix. If all addresses on an interface have prefixes shorter than /64 then DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation is enabled for downstream routers. If a default route is present the router advertises itself as default router on the interface.
