Basically, IPv6 is XNS IDP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Network_Systems IDP uses Ethernet's 48-bit address as the basis for its own network addressing, generally using the machine's MAC address as the primary unique identifier. To this is added another 48-bit address section provided by the networking equipment; 32-bits are provided by routers to identify the network number in the internetwork,
Or, why we even have SRC in the header: it does not inform routing.
Primarily for ICMP. Masataka Ohta
