ND is very heavy in some MIPv6 environment.
Note that I am no DHCP lover and I know DHCP suffer from WLAN.

Say it to Bob Hinden and others who wrote things like
3.1.1 Neighbor Discovery Extension - DNS Server Option
in the DNS autoconfiguration draft.

ARP is working just fine over point to point Ethernet, though
point to point links do not need any MAC address, in which
case both ARP and ND are unnecessary and useless for address
resolution.
So?
Or, are you saying ND over point to point links are useful for
autoconfiguration?
