System and method of applying policy based, targeted prefix advertisements via internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) stateless address auto-configuration (SLAAC) router advertisement (RA) poisoning

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor configured with processor-executable software instructions to:
• query a special treatment table to determine whether a link-layer address of a user equipment (UE) device connected to a local area network (LAN) is included in the special treatment table;
• determine that UE device is eligible to receive special treatment in response to determining that the link-layer address of the UE device is included in the special treatment table;
• 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 the special treatment;
• 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 the special treatment;
• and
• abrogate all multicast router advertisements.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations for using 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), the operations comprising:

• querying a special treatment table to determine whether a link-layer address of a UE device is included in the special treatment table;
• determining that the UE device is eligible to receive special treatment in response to determining that the link-layer address of the UE device is included in the special treatment table;
• sending the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a special prefix in response to determining that the UE device is eligible to receive the special treatment;
• sending 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 the special treatment;
• and
• abrogating all multicast router advertisements.
