I did a test by configuring nothing in the network, so I got a system with one
Ethernet interface, which is set to get all its parameters through DHCP, both
v4 and v6. But also DNS and routing come through DNS.
Getting the IPv4 parameters is almost immediately, just a few seconds during
booting, however getting the IPv6 parameters takes sometimes 10 minutes.
After searching a lot of IPv6 information I found a commented out line in
/etc/dhclient6.conf, which after removing the two hashes, solved the problem of
the long delay. The line reads "##send dhcp6.rapid-commit;". It still takes
more than getting the parameters for IPv4, but as soon as I can log in, the
IPv6 network is ready.
So I recommend to have these hashes removed, or maybe conditionally removed.
