Title: IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
State: Pending
Authors: Susan Thomson

This document specifies the steps a host takes in deciding how to
autoconfigure its interfaces in IP version 6. The autoconfiguration process

link, determining what information can be autoconfigured (addresses, other
information, or both), and in the case of addresses, whether they can be
obtained through the stateless mechanism, the stateful mechanism, or both.
This document defines the process for generating a link-local address, the
process for generating global addresses via stateless address
autoconfiguration, and the Duplicate Address Detection procedure. The
details of autoconfiguration using the stateful protocol are specified in
RFC 3315; an alternative way of using the stateful protocol to deliver
