Abstract
Systems and network devices configured to use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) to provide different internet protocol (IP) address information to user equipment (UE) devices that are connected to the same local area network (LAN). A network device (e.g., default router, etc.) may determine whether a UE device is eligible to receive special treatment based on a link-layer address of the UE device. The network device send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a special prefix in response to determining that the UE device is eligible to receive special treatment. The network device may send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a base prefix for the LAN in response to determining that the UE device is not eligible to receive special treatment.
