If IPv6 node has dhcp functions, it can also make use of this procedure without piggy back the unsolicited multicast mode of dhcp. >I'm sure there would be many details to work out. do you want to make a complexity ? Please be sure that both DHCP and RA discovery method have each application domain/scope. In addition, if we don't have DNS discovery into RA, IPv6 can not provide full stateless autoconfiguration. This option is very very simple. If IPv6 host don't have dhcp functions, what is the possible solutions ? manually configure ?
