There are some experimental. In reality, IPv6 uses your
mac address and inserts a prefix^H^H^Hmidfix (don't have the book
handy) in the middle -- this makes your host autoconfigurable
at link and network level. For Internetwork, the prefix for
your org. is concatenated.

No, it should be on freebsd-net.
There's one book (IPv6, O'Reilly ed.), which covers IPv6
in depth, including FreeBSD INRIA. It's in French though :-)
