Markku, >I'm somewhat puzzled by this thread... has it been decided that IPv6 >address is 64+64, and that latter 64 is EUI-64 format interface ID for >all current and future IPv6 addresses?
Yes. The use of 64 bit interface ID's is defined for prefixes 001 through 111 ( except for multicast addresses), in RFC2373 "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture" published July 1998. See section 2.4. The text regarding EUI-64 has been clarified in <draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-07.txt>.
