ISC DHCPD programming fun: (attempting to) install routes following DHCP-PD operation

0
0
For testing, I need to run both the DHCPv6 server and the router on the single box, with the CPEs running behind it doing client DHCP-PD requests.

As such box I am using a Linksys E3200 running TomatoUSB + with optware aiccu in order to flexibly get the globally routable IPv6 chunk, and optware dhcpd to do all the DHCPv6 stuff.

Configuring DHCP-PD on the ISC DHCP was a breeze, but the tricky part is routing the traffic - DHCP-PD implies the prefix is behind a certain CPE, which implies a route... Some searching pointed to http://jpmens.net/2011/07/06/execute-a-script-when-isc-dhcp-hands-out-a-new-lease/ - but it seems to be a no-op with IPv6... duh. However, Wim's (@42wim) blog entry at http://blog.42.be/2013/04/dhcpv6-isc-mac-logging-and-cisco-relay.html hinted at another approach... 

The result is the below ugly hack, which might be enough for my needs (I won't change the CPEs too often and they are all OpenWRT so the initial 5 minutes delay should be fine; and I do not look at the security aspect -  looks like this is just blindly installing routes based on the info supplied by the client in the REBIND, which in any real-world deployment would be a no-no... 

Also since I derive the link-local address from the mac address that I derive in a way similar to Wim's approach - this is also very very fragile, but again - for my toy setup it is enough. 

The funniest part was the U/L bit flipping while converting the MAC address into the Link-Local IPv6 address. Luckily the ISC DHCP implements just enough logic for it to work. (Though I would have liked a decent programming language there... Maybe ISC folks could just hook Lua inside ? I suspect this might actually decrease the amount of code and with something like e.g. Lua 5.1 the bugs are very rare if at all.)

If someone has a better idea on how to implement this, feel free to write in the comment. My scenario constraints are:

1) the ISC DHCP server is whatever is supplied with tomatousb firmware, I believe 4.1 - I can not recompile or upgrade it to anything newer.

2) I do not have any cross-compiler toolchain for tomatousb

So I am pretty restricted in what can be done.

Anyway,  here goes my dhcp.conf for your enjoyment:

# BIIIG caveat:
# * does not work on initial allocation.
# looks like we can only study the options sent by the client,
# not the options about to be sent by the server, so...
#
# Some assumptions:
# * DUID has mac address in the end (openwrt does this)
# * only one prefix in PD, and one address in NA. This is a bit buggy
