A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.
Title : IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
Author(s) : S. Thomson, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2462bis-05.txt
Pages : 31
Date : 2004-8-12
This document specifies the steps a host takes in deciding how to
autoconfigure its interfaces in IP version 6. The autoconfiguration
process includes creating a link-local address and verifying its
uniqueness on a 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 is specified in RFC
3315 and RFC 3736.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2462bis-05.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
