9.2.1.2 Stateless Address Auto Configuration (IPv6 only)
Unlike IPv4, IPv6 is designed to be auto-configuring. SLAAC is an IPv6 mechanism by which IPv6
hosts can configure their IPv6 addresses automatically when connected to an IPv6 network using the
Neighbour Discovery Protocol (NDP). Using NDP IPv6 hosts are able to solicit advertisements from on-
link routers and use the network prefix(es) contained in the advertisements to generate IPv6 address
(es).
