There's not THE ip address. A host can have (and actually typically
has, under IPv6) several addresses.

That said, what you're talking about is probably the link local address [1],
which under IPv6 is derived from the MAC address, to have some guarantee
of uniqueness.

Since under IPv6 a host can announce its address and the routers can
propagate this, the schema Just Works (TM) without central instances
to dole out addresses à la DHCP.
