- Remove IID-MAC assumption text completely.
- IID formed as per RFC4944 from the MAC address by default.
- The link-local address is always formed from the MAC address.
o All other info (global address, prefix, whatever) could be options
that are granted in a single NR/NC for the link local.
o They are stored in the binding table for the Link local of the node as
additional info
o They result in routes via the link local as opposed to other bindings
- Address Resolution is not performed. Nodes only forward via routers
with which they have an NR/NC relationship. The node router cache and
router binding table have IID to link-layer address resolution. Any
optimization for direct host to host connectivity is out of scope.
