Well, if SLAAC is using the MAC addresses, it's pretty useful. But neither SLAAC nor DHCP *really* solve it. Any host can take any address in the right prefix and (modulo snooping and other switch/router features) be active in the network. That is, both SLAAC and DHCP really only allow "tracking" of well-behaved hosts. > The proposed solution doesn't solve the problem described. No, it doesn't.
