5.5 Creation of Global Addresses
Global addresses are formed by appending an interface identifier to a prefix of appropriate length. Prefixes are obtained from Prefix Information options contained in Router Advertisements. Creation of global addresses and configuration of other parameters as described in this section SHOULD be locally configurable. However, the processing described below MUST be enabled by default.
5.5.2 Absence of Router Advertisements
If a link has no routers, a host MUST attempt to use stateful autoconfiguration to obtain addresses and other configuration information. An implementation MAY provide a way to disable the invocation of stateful autoconfiguration in this case, but the default SHOULD be enabled.
==> Now that we are saying the stateful mechanism is DHCPv6, does this implies
that a host implementation that does not support DHCPv6 client is not conformant?
What about an implementation that does only support DHCPv6-lite for DNS discovery?
If I do not support DHCPv6, can I make the claim that this is my way to "disable the
invocation of sateful autoconfiguration" ?
