Dear all,
Thankyou for detailed replies regarding my previous question about the need to perform DAD. Another question is regarding the auto-configuration of Routers in an IPv6 network. >From RFC 2462 and also i read somewhere that "With the exception of link-local >addresses, address auto-configuration is only specified for HOSTS (and by >implication not for routers). Routers must obtain address configuration >parameters through another means (for example, manual configuration)". Because every router interface (except loopback ofcourse) should have a global-scope IPv6 address which the MN will use as destination address in BU during Home registration process in MIPv6, so if I manually provide ONLY prefixes to an IPv6 router, then can't the router perform auto-configuration to form a global-scope address from this manually assigned prefix(es)? Clarification would be appreciated. Zarrar _________________________________________________________________ Don't get caught with egg on your face.
