Helper class to auto-assign global IPv6 unicast addresses.
Assign global unicast IPv6 addresses based on RFC 4291 definition.
| n bits | 64-n bits | 64 bits | +----------------------—+--------—+-------------------------—+ | global routing prefix | subnet ID | interface ID | +----------------------—+--------—+-------------------------—+ <----------—network---------------->
11111111111111111111111111000000000000 <—prefix of length n--->
This class handles the following quantities. 1) The "network" which covers the 64 bit union of the global routing prefix and the subnet ID 2) the "prefix" length "n" which demarcates the global routing prefix and the subnet ID 3) the "base" which is the initial 64-bit interface ID.
The names "network", "prefix" and "base" are chosen to be consistent with a similar address helper for IPv4.
This helper class allows users to set or reset the network and interface components, and call "NewAddress ()" to sequentially increment the interface ID, and call "NewNetwork ()" to allocate a new subnet (until the subnet ID quantity rolls over). A call to NewNetwork () that causes the subnet ID to roll over will trigger an assertion.
By default, the prefix is 32 bits and the network is '2001:db8::/32' (RFC 5156 section 2.6 Documentation prefix). The prefix may range from length 0 to 64, with the value 64 having a special meaning that no subnet ID boundary is enforced (equivalent to value 0).
There are two variants of interface ID supported (RFC 4291 , Sec. 2.5.1) The default is a "local" scope, but a "universal" scoped ID may be formed by calling "NewAddress (Address addr)" with a 48-bit MAC address. If this method is called, the addressed returned will include a modified EUI-64-format identifier created from the MAC address as specified in RFC 4291 .
BEWARE: the underlying implementation acts as a Singleton. In other terms, two different instances of Ipv6AddressHelper will pick IPv6 numbers from the same pool. Changing the network in one of them will also change the network in the other instances.

Ipv6InterfaceContainer ns3::Ipv6AddressHelper::AssignWithoutOnLink | ( | const NetDeviceContainer & | c | ) |
Allocate an Ipv6InterfaceContainer with auto-assigned addresses, but do not set the on-link property for the network.
This method will assign a valid global address to the interface but the routing will not consider the network as "on-link".
