The ‘state’ in the wording SLAAC means that of the host, I mean.

SLAAC don’t need to require the router to do anything special, other than the router’s usual prefix advertisement through an RA.

The same is true of the case wherein DHCP is used to assign addresses to hosts by the router.

How the router keeps the link prefix info in its system is an interest neither to DHCP or SLAAC, since the link prefix itself is not about address assignment in which DHCP and SLAAC are interested.

How the router keeps the link prefix(es), whether shared or unique to each hosts, is an issue of the router system implementation, not of the protocols DHCP or SLAAC.

Hence, the question about how the prefix(es) are stored or recovered should be addressed to the router spec, neither to DHCP, nor to SLAAC, nor to this draft, I’d think.
