Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
implementing a mesh network by creating a virtual bridge on a relay computing device having a first interface configured to communicate with a client device, and a second interface configured to communicate with a network router;
receiving a plurality of data packets from a network router;
identifying a plurality of IPv6 data packets among the plurality of data packets;
responsive to determining that one or more IPv6 data packets of the plurality of IPv6 data packets comprise an internet control message protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) message, performing a stateless address auto configuration (SLAAC) for the client device; and
sending, to the client device, the plurality of the IPv6 data packets, wherein performing the SLAAC comprises:
receiving, from the client device, a router solicitation (RS) request;
relaying, to the network router, the RS request;
receiving, from the network router, a router advertisement response comprising a link-layer address of the network router;
replacing the link-layer address of the network router with a link-layer address of the relay computing device; and
relaying, to the client device, the router advertisement response comprising the link-layer address of the relay computing device.
