I don't think address-based privacy offers any privacy at all, since the tracker can just track the prefix. The problem is that this is also true of the customer prefix. I think the idea that you can get privacy by changing the IP address or prefix is hopelessly naive. If you want privacy, you probably need something like TOR, only commercial, but even then what you get is privacy from everybody but your TOR provider. Ironically, the simplest version of this commercial TOR for IPv6 is an NPTv6 router somewhere near the backbone. :} _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
