> Nobody asked for that. I wasn't around for the discussions at the time, but I would have asked for it if I was. SLAAC is IPv4LL, except that you usually get a globally-routable IP address from it. It's great. It's also quite a bit simpler than DHCP... "If the advertised prefix permits autonomous addressing, generate a host part in the non-fixed part of the prefix, run DAD on the generated address to ensure it's not in use, and start using it if it's not.". > SLAAC was part of IPv6 since the original RFC... An attentive reader notices that RFC 1883 and RFC 1971 are separated by nearly a year. |
