Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
Mobile SLAAC as described in the RFC 4862 provides a way of IPv6 device to obtain the IPv6 address without using the DHCP. This ability of Sol disrupts several administrations in a network and also improves scalability.
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
As the world shifts from IPv4 to IPv6, there is a need to discuss some mechanisms that support this paradigm shift. Neighbor Discovery (ND) and Stateless Address Autoconfiguration or also known as SLAAC are among the building blocks of IPv6. These protocols improve the operation and performance of IPv6 networks offering an easy way to connect networks together and offer IoT capabilities. In this article, the author aims to provide insight into the these two protocols, how they work, and their advantages in context to the IPv6 environment.
