RE: Take ISP BB scenarios as WG document?

Hi,

I think the term "stateless autoconfiguration" refers to RFC 2642.

My questions are:
If yes, does this mean the router can do stateless autoconfiguration?
If no, how does a CPE router set its address and default route except using
manual configuration.

Thanks.

(I've not gone through the document, so I may miss something in the context,
but) isn't the autoconfigured address (between the "Customer Router" and the
"Edge Router") a link-local address?

p.s. I happen to find a typo in the original text: in the sentence beginning
with "This step is ...", "shorter then /64" should be "shorter than /64".
(i.e., s/then/than/)
