Hello,
In the separate discussion about the "privacy-only" configuration, I
found something odd in the privacy-addrs-v2 draft. In section 3.3
(rev. 04), it states:
4. When creating a temporary address, the lifetime values MUST be
derived from the corresponding prefix as follows:
* Its Valid Lifetime is the lower of the Valid Lifetime of the
public address or TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME
* Its Preferred Lifetime is the lower of the Preferred Lifetime
of the prefix or TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME - DESYNC_FACTOR.
Why does the second bullet mention the preferred lifetime of the
"prefix", not of the "public address"? The corresponding text in the
original RFC3041 is as follows,
3) When creating a temporary address, the lifetime values are derived
from the corresponding public address as follows:
- Its Valid Lifetime is the lower of the Valid Lifetime of the
public address or TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME.
- Its Preferred Lifetime is the lower of the Preferred Lifetime
of the public address or TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME -
DESYNC_FACTOR.
which specifies the "public address" lifetimes for both cases. This
has been changed since privacy-addrs-v2-01, but I could not find the
reason for this in the change history. It seems a simple typo to me.
Or is there any special reason for specifying the "prefix" lifetime
here?
