	Roxen Community: RFC 2462 IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (Standards Track)
		Autoconfiguration is performed only on multicast-capable links and begins when a multicast-capable interface is enabled, e.g., during system startup.
		It should be noted that the stateless and stateful address autoconfiguration fields in Router Advertisements are processed independently of one another, and a host may use both stateful and stateless address autoconfiguration simultaneously.
		However, when stateless address autoconfiguration is used, address uniqueness is determined solely by the interface identifier, assuming that subnet prefixes are assigned correctly (i.e., if all of an interface's addresses are generated from the same identifier, either all addresses or none of them will be duplicates).

	Using the client autoconfiguration file
		Autoconfiguration files also support proxy failover, so if a proxy server is unavailable, the Navigator will transparently switch to another proxy server.
		You can store one or more autoconfiguration files on the proxy server and have the proxy server act as a web server whose only documents are autoconfiguration files.
		The exception is with autoconfiguration files: the proxy immediately recognizes the path and returns the.pac file.

		From address autoconfiguration's perspective, an interface token is a bit string of known length.
		However, when stateless address autoconfiguration is used, address uniqueness is determined solely by the interface token, assuming that subnet prefixes are assigned correctly (i.e., if all of an interface's addresses are generated from the same token, either all addresses or none of them will be duplicates).
		Thus, to perform Duplicate Address Detection correctly in the case where two interfaces are using the same link-layer address, an implementation must have a good understanding of the interface's multicast loopback semantics, and the interface cannot discard received packets simply because the source link-layer address is the same as the interfaces.

	IpV6 Autoconfiguration tutorial
		The autoconfiguration process includes creating a link-local address and verifying its uniqueness on a link, determining what information should be autoconfigured (addresses, other information, or both), and in the case of addresses, whether they should be obtained through the stateless mechanism, the stateful mechanism, or both.
		Stateless autoconfiguration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers.
		The stateful autoconfiguration protocol allows hosts to obtain addresses, other configuration information or both from a server.

	UnixWare Frequently Asked Questions (Autoconfiguration)
		Subject: A2) What does Autoconfiguration mean to me? Autoconfiguration means different things to different people, to some it applies to every aspect of the hardware, main memory, display device, expansion boards, modems, etc. In UnixWare 2.0, Autoconfiguration applies to bus expansion boards and the software that supports them.
		Autoconfiguration: this is the ability to automatically configure the system so the hardware is accessible.
		Autoconfiguration does provide functionality to help identify which boards and configuration parameters are conflicting, The DCU will allow you to change the software configuration parameters in the event wrong information was inadvertently input during package installation.

		Stateless autoconfiguration further makes it possible for nodes to configure their own globally routable addresses in cooperation with a local IPv6 router.
		Autoconfiguration capabilities are important regardless of which style of address allocation is in effect.
		DHCP [12] is the protocol of choice for autoconfiguration in IPv4 networks and has been reformulated for the IPv6 environment [2, 27].

	RFC 3041 (rfc3041) - Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfigur
		This document describes an extension to IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration for interfaces whose interface identifier is derived from an IEEE identifier.
		This document discusses concerns associated with the embedding of non-changing interface identifiers within IPv6 addresses and describes extensions to stateless address autoconfiguration that can help mitigate those concerns for individual users and in environments where such concerns are significant.
		Another approach, compatible with the stateless address autoconfiguration architecture, would be to change the interface id portion of an address over time and generate new addresses from the interface identifier for some address scopes.

		You can store the autoconfiguration file locally with each copy of Netscape Navigator; however, if you need to update the file, you'll have to distribute copies of the file to each client.
		All autoconfiguration files are ASCII text files with a single JavaScript function (seeCreating the Autoconfiguration File Manually for more information on the syntax of the files).
		Once you create your autoconfiguration file, make sure you either tell all the people using your proxy server to point to the correct autoconfiguration file or configure the copies of Navigator yourself.

	Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
		Stateless address autoconfiguration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal configuration of routers, and no additional servers.
		However, there is always a possibility that address autoconfiguration due to router advertisement is happening concurrently while the user manually configures secondary interfaces.
		To disable communication through a specific IP address on an autoconfigured secondary interface, that secondary interface must be marked down, not removed or overwritten with a different IP address.

	IPv6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If IPv6 autoconfiguration is not suitable, a host can use stateful autoconfiguration (DHCPv6) or be configured manually.
		Stateless autoconfiguration is only suitable for hosts; routers must be configured manually or by other means.
		This is analogous to the Autoconfiguration IP address 169.254.x.x in IPv4.

	Tools for IPv6 ad hoc networking
		The autoconfiguration mechanisms have been implemented by Arnaud Frey.
		The autoconfiguration mechanism is based on the draft Gateway and address autoconfiguration for IPv6 adhoc networks (draft-jelger-manet-gateway-autoconf-v6-02.txt) submitted to the MANET working group.
		The autoconfiguration has then been integrated within an implementation of the OLSR routing protocol.

	The IPv6 Portal
		In "stateless" autoconfiguration any host or server manual configuration is required, and only in some situations, a minimum routers configuration is needed.
		"Stateful" autoconfiguration, is often used when is needed a more rigorous control about the address allocated to hosts, on the contrary of "stateless" autoconfiguration (of which only worry is that the address wasn't duplicated).
		To insure that allocated addresses, by means of manual mechanisms as well as autoconfiguration ones, are unique in a specific link, it is used, before this allocation, the duplicated addresses detection algorithm.

		A deprecated address should no longer be used as a source address in new communications, but packets sent from or to deprecated addresses are delivered as expected.
		If the address is derived from an interface identifier, a new identifier will need to be assigned to the interface, or all IP addresses for the interface will need to be manually configured.

	Browser Autoconfiguration Behaviour
		The focus of this paper is to study features and behaviours of Proxy Autoconfiguration files[1] that impact proxy failover and reconfiguration events.
		There are several facilities available in proxy autoconfiguration files that can be used to dictate which server is to be used for a request.
		Autoconfiguration is the only client-based form of proxy failover.

	The TCP/IP Guide - IPv6 Autoconfiguration and Renumbering
		The general idea is to have a device generate a temporary address until it can determine the characteristics of the network it is on, and then create a permanent address it can use based on that information.
		In the case of multi-homed devices, autoconfiguration is performed for each interface separately, as you would expect.
		It may tell the node that on this network “stateful” autoconfiguration is in use, and tell it the address of a DHCP server to use.

	What is IPv6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The two types of autoconfiguration are "stateless" and "stateful." Stateful autoconfiguration is the IPv6 equivalent of DHCP.
		Stateless autoconfiguration allows a host to propose an address which will probably be unique (based on the network prefix and its Ethernet MAC address) and propose its use on the network.
		Thus, large networks will likely use a combination of stateless autoconfiguration to discover their address, and DHCPv6 servers to pass out other information, such as DNS servers, with a third mechanism for the system to register its name in the DNS.

	IPv6 Networking FAQ
		We have two parties here: a host (which is to be autoconfigured) and a router (which emits necessary information to the host).
		After the reboot, the host will be autoconfigured by using Router Advertisements from the rtadvd(8) on the adjacent router.
		Also, due to restrictions in the IPv6 specification, it is not recommended to autoconfigure a host with multiple external interfaces (like 2 ethernet interfaces).

	RFC 1971 (rfc1971) - IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
		Stateless address autoconfiguration combines an interface token with a prefix to form an address.
		If the value of OtherConfigFlag changes from FALSE to TRUE, the host should invoke the stateful autoconfiguration protocol, requesting information (excluding addresses).
		If an address is formed successfully, the host adds it to the list of addresses assigned to the interface, initializing its preferred and valid lifetime values from the Prefix Information option.

		If a network LAN adapter is configured for TCP/IP, and if "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected on the IP Address tab in the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, Windows ME TCP/IP attempts to find and use a DHCP service on the attached network to obtain a dynamically assigned IP address.
		If it does not find a DHCP service, Windows ME uses IP Autoconfiguration Addressing by assigning the adapter a Class B IP address out of the network number 169.254.x.x IP address space.
		If Windows ME initially does not detect a DHCP service and configures an IP Autoconfiguration IP address, and then subsequently discovers a DHCP service on the network, Windows ME uses the DHCP service and switches from 169.254.x.x addressing to IP addresses assigned by a DHCP server.
