Can the IPv6 DUID be extracted and displayed? #520

Description

@pasha-19

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Be able to display the IPv6 DUID (not unlike a MAC Address in IPv4). I intend to use this information in DHCP Static assignments for IPv6 Addresses. I understand the DUID is more stable than the MAC address in IPv4 now (some OSes will fake this value for security reasons). Also if the MAC address with it's limitations is used for the IPv4 static DHCP requirement then the DUID hopefully can be used for the IPv6 managed and static DHCPv6 assignments. I have determined that I can not assign an IPv4 and IPv6 Static DHCP address using the same MAC address (by implication to the same network card). My DHCP server flags that as a duplicate entry ignoring the fact there was only one IPv4 and IPv6 assignment attempted.

Describe the solution you'd like
When an IPv6 address is located extract the DUID and allow it to be displayed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Tried netsh commands and other scanners with no success.

Additional context
I have no idea if this is even possible. The question was largely placed here so one with more knowledge of the subject could determine the reasonableness of the request. If it is not reasonable; thanks for listening to the request.
