Various example embodiments for supporting generation of addresses for network entities may be configured to support generation of a new address for a network entity based on an existing address of the network entity. Various example embodiments for supporting generation of addresses for network entities may be configured to support generation of a new address for a network entity based on manipulation of at least a portion of an existing address of the network entity. Various example embodiments for supporting generation of addresses for network entities may be configured to support generation of a transport layer address (e.g., an Internet Protocol (IP) address or the like) for a network entity based on a data link layer address (e.g., a Media Access Control (MAC) address or the like) of the network entity.
