Option dhcp6.client-linklayer-addr

[perl-list]

Wireshark shows option 79 clearly present in the packet. Looks like the mac address of the device is e4:11:5b:29:e4:35 

It does indeed look like RFC 6939 OPTION_CLIENT_LINKLAYER_ADDR (79) should be in 4.3.1 per https://deepthought.isc.org/article/AA-01112/0/Newly-Pre-defined-Options-in-DHCP-4.3.html 
dhcp6.client-linklayer-addr string 
A client link-layer address. The first two bytes must be the type of the link-layer followed by the address itself. 
This option is included based on RFC 6939. 

Hope this gets resolved as we will need to use that option in the future. 

Out of curiosity, Antonios, what relay agent are you using that is adding that option to the packet?
