ipv6 tentative address generation

2006-01-16 Thread Travers Buda
Ipv6 allows for stateless configuration of a interface. The IEEE (aka MAC or hardware address) is generally used to generate tentative addresses which commonly end up being the assigned address provided stateful addressing does not exist on the network (such as DHCP.) This is the case in OpenBS
