I think it’s probably time I learned how IPv6 works, does anyone have a decent entry point for that? I’m mostly looking for a high level overview which can tell what topics are worth diving into and which ones are either deprecated or experimental - as an example I know of at least DHCPv6 and SLAAC for config, are they both relevant? Is one clearly better? I have no idea.
@jon both SLAAC and DHCPv6 are used - SLAAC is more similar to IPv4 DHCP, while DHCPv6 allows delegation of whole prefixes.
Your router will usually get a prefix from your ISP using DHCPv6, and then devices on your network will configure themselves using SLAAC.
