We're not limited to controlling a host to a DHCP-assigned address; we can also observe the device's behavior and protect addresses it allocates using SLAAC and SEND.
Yes, I know, but for an ISP who wants to know what end-entity has an IP address at any given time, the only practical way to use SLAAC is to have each customer in their own /64, and then it's not really a problem because it's a subnet of its own.
It's when you want to share a subnet with multiple DHCPv6(-PD)-handouted IP addresses and routed subnets it becomes a bit more complicated. That situation is what I was referring to.
SLAAC is fine for home networks (and some enterprise networks). -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
