One of the constraints about using the IPIP proxy method is that the Join
Proxy has to advertise/coordinate the same IP address.  That is, the JRC
needs to have a LL address configured which the Join Proxy advertises as the
target.  This is so that the UDP/TCP state is correct.

One possible way to deal with this is to use a well-known anycast LL address.
It looks easy to ask IANA to allocate one.

+A pledge finds the layer-2 address of the Join Proxy by looking at the
+EUI64 source address of enhanced beacons it has received that have the
+Network ID extension,  and have the Join Proxy bit set.
+The Layer-3 address is the anycast address TBD1.
+
+The pledge need not do ND for the Join Proxy (which requires an expensive multicast),
+but rather can form the layer-2 address directly from the EUI-64 that was seen.
+
+The pledge uses it's link-local address when speaking to the JRC via the
Join Proxy.

+This document allocates the address TBD1 from the
+Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Anycast Addresses registry.
