That is precisely what it does not do. The IPv6 addressing plan (as it stands) is designed to provide for provider-oriented addresses /only/. To speak of some other sort of identifier as an ``address'' is in fact nonsense. An address tells you how to get there; it does not identify an object. A good deal of work has gone into developing IP address autoconfiguration for IPv6 in order to keep machines from ever having their address stored on local stable storage. (They still appear in places like DNS servers, of course.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
