How is address

Not germane to address allocation.
It seems to be. IPv6 uses link-local addresses, with are.. well..
link-local. This stuff needs to exist -- it's not necessary to
specify it in autoconf, but it needs to be specified.
Let's say you allocate addresses randomly to a lot of devices
that run IP. Then, the address allocation doesn't have any
big hairy "model" except that we'd like to guarantee uniqueness.
After the address allocation is complete, likely as not I could
design quite a few different address resolution models, again as
long as unique assignment can be assumed.
I really think that this is an issue that's only good for digging
very deep and foul smelling ratholes.
In any case, it would be good to specify which documents you're
talking about [manet] or [autoconf] doesn't help those who haven't
participated in manetautoconf. The web page for the WG/BOF effort
(from the last proceedings) doesn't work anymore either, and I only
found the new one by googling.
I am sure that someone on this list will have a nice bibliography
handy, or I could find a number of interesting references if no
one else takes the opportunity.

Charlie P.
