Xavier I am just learning ipv6 but as I understand it from my reading so far similar solutions exist in ipv6 as for ipv4 such as dhcp6 etc.
There is "stateless address autoconfiguration" (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4862) and Neighbor Discovery protocol (NDP) for ipv6 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861). NDP seems to only be used on local link for address discovery but that would seem appropriate for lxc container address assignments ! From what I understand so far IPv6 has two types of auto-configuration: "Stateless auto-configuration" (the RFC mentioned above) which is intended for small orgs & individual use. Because this method needs no "server" to approve the use of an address its supposed to be simpler to implement. It's intended to let a "host" propose an ipv6 address based on the ipv6 network prefix & the "host" interface MAC address (see EUI-64). This assumes the result will be a unique ipv6 address (re no address conflicts). "Stateful auto-configuration" uses the dhcp6 protocol. dhcp6 is called "stateful” because both the dhcp6 "server" & the "client" have to keep state information to insure no address conflicts occur & to manage lease/lease-renewals. I was hoping that either someone had used something in these areas to implement an automatic local ipv6 address assignment to LXC containers created on any one host or knew of a guide somewhere related to ipv6 & lxc.
