Router advertisement via ICMP is one I can name off the top of my head.

There is no router advertisement/NDP/SLAAC in IPv4, so that's not a fair comparison. NDP/SLAAC has a vastly different architecture and behavior than DHCP(v4), and also deprecates other hacked-on IPv4 features (like DHCPv4 link local addresses and ARP).

ndp in ipv4 is called "arp" =D
