Hi!
I have recently implemented and tested the patch at [1], which
implements RFC 7217, about generating IPv6 addresses that are
constant through reboots, but do not expose the MAC address of the
machine, not being in any way derived by those.
I'd like to get comments, testing and review for this patch, with
the objective of getting approval to commit it to head once it is
streamlined enough.
BTW I'd like to thank cognet for his suggestions and help with the
patch, in particular his help in finding the correct way to
implement the dad_failures counter.
And thanks in advance to anyone willing to give feedback!

Hi Guido,
hi all,
everything works perfectly in 16.0-CURRENT and stable/15. Would it be
possible to officially MFC this patch[2] to stable/15, given that
15.0- RELEASE has already been published?
Hi,
Yes, I plan to merge this to stable soon. But at present I'm a little
busy and overwhelmed with daily life and work so I was planning to do
this in a short while.
I'll be starting to work on MFCing this soon though.
Hi Giudo,
thank you for the reply. This is excellent news for all FreeBSD users
who use IPv6 on their PCs and laptops. It will certainly be appreciated
by the community. Additionally, as of today, we already know about at
least one thing that will appear in FreeBSD 15.1.
Cheers
