capacity for more slaves

Hello David.

Forgot one "A". So it is SLAAC a scheme where IP address of the host in
IPv6 is generated from the mac address by the host itself and so it is
stateless at that sense and does not require keeping IP to MAC database
anywhere. Also unless privacy extension is enabled the machine will get the
same IP address always if it keeps the same MAC.

Routing prefix in this case comes from either DHCP or from the router using
router solicitation - but all of that are not required to keep any MAC
databases either.

BTW there are also IPv6 link-local addresses that are autogenerated the
same way but does not require any routeing prefixes as they work over the
local network only. Those can also be used for the slaves if we sure they
are in the same LAN. The good point is that they do not require any
intermediates for anything and typical pattern for DNS is using mDNS that
does not require centralized DNS servers either since it is LAN only.

Some patterns for IPv6 deployment use both global and link-local addresses
together.
