Hi Pekka,
>How much this will help you depends on the circumstances. It could help a >lot in some cases (e.g. when the prefix changes rapidly too), close to >zero in others (e.g. when your prefix is nearly static). How is this different than a case where someone uses a static (or "nearly static") IPv4 address to track a user's connections? Any static address can be used for tracking purposes. The use of temporary addresses in IPv6 will make it somewhat harder for servers to track information about individual IPv6 hosts. They could still store tracking information based on the prefix, but they would not know if the prefix refers to a single host or a large multi-user network.
