Mattias, thank you for your remarks. It looks to me that the whole autoconf/DAD idea has been designed with a shared medium in mind. However, I understand this "shareness" at level 3, and not lower. It's probably possible to design a 3GPP L2 under IP that makes an "unshared" L1/2 look like a "shared" media to IP.
