When I read DHCPv6 vs SLAAC it often boils down to "control" but I don't
see the need to allocate a dynamic address if the autogenerated are used.
"control" in the sense of "the management station can see which client
is reachable under which IPv6 address"... and possibly "and put in proper
forward and reverse DNS entries".
So, managed networks tend to like DHCPv6 (DNS!), and wonder how they
should cope with Android.
Probably they don't.
FWIW, it's quite interesting to see the same folks ditching DHCPv6 to
then complain if SLAAC-based hosts use more addresses than they would like.
