DHCPv6-PD is the mechanism for _receiving_ a prefix to delegate to other segments. Commonly configured on the WAN port of a gateway to receive a customer prefix (/48, /56, etc.) to then provision /64s on its LAN segments. How addresses within this prefix are subsequently allocated is beyond the scope of DHCPv6-PD, and falls back to either DHCPv6, SLAAC, etc.
