Until now, some of the IPv6 settings are mysterious or cryptic. They are now
clarified, having referred to odhcpd README and source.
The information is accessible to IPv6 beginners.

Hi! I have this - can anyone help explain how NDP Proxy hybrid mode differs? ( Whoever said this is well documented is hallucinating )
Once that's done, I can add this as help fields to LuCI under DHCP-> IPv6 and make a PR.
Router-Advertisement Service: RA is a subset of NDP. NDP is a subset of ICMPv6.
disabled: RA is off
server mode: RA is on; Router advertises itself as the default IPv6 gateway to downstream devices, sends RA messages (ICMPv6 type 134, to ff02::1) to LAN, and provides P…
