Stateful means that the address is managed through a preconfigured database,
where stateless means the address is constructed by the node.

Each node constructs its own address using an established set of rules, and
some information from the local router (if one exists).

Each node asks the service (like DHCP) for the address it should be using.

Different operational environments will choose between them to achieve the
desired policies. It is an operational cost vs. control trade-off.

Stateful allows for strict central control of the entire 128-bits, while
stateless has the central control only managing the upper 64-bits with each
node responsible for the lower.

There is no equivalent IPv4 feature to stateless autoconfiguration.
