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
