I am not trying to anything like NAT. My question does not involve
translation at all.
I understand that NAT is not what you want.
I am interested in improving the hiding capability of "client" nodes on
any network by not autoconfiguring a global-scope address that
incorporates any portion of any unique identifier (like a MAC address)
on my interface. My privacy-only addressing scheme would give me a
globally-routable address. I would be forgoing peer-to-peer capability,
but no more so than a host that used only stateless autoconfiguration.
This is what we wanted to show to the v6 Ops group.
You should read the NAP (Network Address Protection) document as it talks
about this topic. Originally we were trying to show that address protection
is important and translation is not a good idea as it breaks things up.
