Actually it's primarily due to NDP and EUI-64. Eliminating ARP is a very good thing for reasons of scalability, reliability and security.

- tsimionescu 3y agoNDP doesn't impose any restrictions on IP addresses, it uses special prefixes anyway. EUI-64 is a part of SLAAC, not NDP. Finally, NDP is not really any more secure at least than ARP (at least not if you don't implement SEND as well, which I'm not sure if anyone does, at least in consumer networks). Not sure about reliability or scalability either.
