yes, i agree with you that maybe it will be more suitable the pseudo-random
global id be generated by the administrator and configure on the router. so
when the router reboot ,it will got the same configuration and not cause
the renumbering process.
so , is this the common concept in IPV6 WG about who produce the
pseudo-random global id ? I did not see it in the RFC4193 ,or maybe i
missed someting.
thanks .
