Question is how far you want to push mesh networking. I think we
should not limit ourselves to closed (private) networks. Yes, MAC
based autoconfiguration is good enough if there is no server to give
you public IPv6 around. But this should be a fallback to still allow
communication in split (closed bubble) mesh network. But if there is a
gateway to some other network (like Internet) there is a good idea to
run AHCP server on this same gateway, which would give nodes IPv6
addresses from its IPv6 range. I believe this is the future.
