SLAAC

A

Stateless Address Autoconfiguration(SLAAC): Eliminats the need to obtain addresses or other configuration information from a central server. That uses EUI-64

88
Q

Neighbor Discovery Protocol(NDP):

A

Used to determine the layer 2 addresses that are on a given network.

89
Q

TCP

A

Transmission Control Protocol(TCP): Connection-oriented protocol, which means it’s a reliable way to transport segments across the network.

90
