Hi Francis, thanks for putting the IMEI idea on paper, it's been long expected by many circles. I have a remark below, please correct me if I misunderstood the conversion. > The IMEI 330001 53 007826 gives the 0333:0001:5300:7826 (usually > written 333:1:5300:7826) interface identifier. Since IMEI is represented in decimal and addresses in hexa, by doing the above it effectively leads to impossibility of use of parts of address space. I mean, all IMEI's can be represented into an IPv6 Interface ID, but certain IPv6 Interface ID's will never have a correspondent IMEI. Maybe better can be done.
