This document specifies a new extension to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery in Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), enabling a node to request to be assigned an address or a prefix from neighbor routers. Such mechanism allows to algorithmically assign addresses and prefixes to nodes in a 6LoWPAN deployment.
