Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is an IPv6 mechanism that allows devices to automatically configure their own IP addresses without the need for a DHCP server. Here’s how it works
- ICMPv6 RA: Routers periodically send ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) messages on the network, or they respond to Router Solicitation (RS) messages from devices seeking network configuration information.
- RA Contents: The RA contains information like the network prefix, the A flag (Autonomous Address Configuration), and the L flag (On-link). These indicate whether SLAAC is allowed for address generation and if the prefix can be used for direct communication within the link.

Noticed on The SLAAC module i finished and saw 0 points i have to restart again and moved back to go through the module once again before i was awarded the 60 marks, i have seen several like this but now i have to check . This might be the reson some have more points that the other in same module milestones. Please check and ensure you take your points
