Bright The dhcpcd seems like another good choice. http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/index It is licensed under the 2 clause BSD license, supports BSD, is being actively developed, is in ports: net/dhcpcd Seems to be the only one to support RFC 7217 (Opaque Interface Identifiers with SLAAC = Stable Private Addresses) which currently lacks support on FreeBSD as far as I can tell (but does work on newer linux). Some of the notable features: IPv6 Router Soliciation including optional address and route management IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration IPv6 Stable Private Addresses Seamless quad stack of DHCPv4, IPv4LL, IPv6RS, DHCPv6 Small runtime, 200k on amd64 NetBSD ...
