Considering that a DOS attack from a node using a lot of addresses to
effectively disable logging, SLAAC must not be used, unless maximum N,
the maximum number of addresses for a node to have, is standardized (
assuming a node is securely identified through the first hop security,
which is necessary to enforce the number of addresses used by each node).
