9.3.1 Using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration

In this method the globally aggregatable unicast address is derived from the prefix advertised by the routers and the IEEE EUI-64 identifier (RFC 2462). Since the EUI-64 identifier is generated from the MAC address if it was available, then mapping the IP address to a MAC address is very easy to do. Only MAC addresses and L2 port mapping should be implemented. Enforcing the usage of the EUI-64 identifiers as part of IPv6 addresses could be easily enforced by firewalls. Some firewalls already allow checks MAC address and EUI-64 address consistency of the outgoing packets. This way the accountability of the outgoing communications can be easily provided. However, you should configure carefully your firewall rules if you also use statically assigned addresses.
