Note: I don't know that I understand this distinction. Calling ND "server-less" doesn't seem entirely accurate. ND requires a router sending the client prefix information for the addresses it is to generate. Without that info, the client can only generate link-local addresses. In this case, the router quacks like a server. I.e., the client sends out an RS, the router responds with a RA. Is it not being a server? I think this point is important because saying we need a "server-less" solution implies we all agree on what server-oriented vs. server-less actually means. I'm not sure I do.
