When using a 64 bit value to create a unique 32 bit value there is a finite but small probability of a collision with OSPF. Babel is experimental and AHCP is a draft and we aren't going to drop a full standard because of a router-id issue. Not that I don't think Babel and AHCP are promising work. Certainly flooding in a dense wireless mesh is not a good thing as Jim pointed out but example so there are cases where OSPF or ISIS is not applicable. The topic at the moment is OSPF (and ISIS) so problem not solved by EUI-64. Curtis
