In this episode you will learn:

- How SLAAC uses Router Advertisements (RAs) to allow a host to self-assign an IPv6 address using a provided network prefix.

- The EUI-64 process creates a 64-bit interface ID by splitting a MAC address, inserting 'FFFE' in the middle, and flipping the 7th bit.

- Stateful DHCPv6, triggered by the 'M' flag in RAs, provides full address assignment and tracking, similar to DHCP for IPv4.

- Stateless DHCPv6, triggered by the 'O' flag, works with SLAAC to provide supplemental information like DNS servers without tracking addresses.

- IPv6 Privacy Extensions (RFC 4941) generate random interface IDs as an alternative to EUI-64 to prevent a host from being tracked across networks.
