In your previous mail you wrote: The world has more devices than Ethernet. The Ethernet MAC -> EUI-64 trick (thus your lost fffe bits) is just a trick. Take firewire for example which uses full EUI-64. => hum, unfortunately Firewire is the bad example: it uses EUI-64 for IDs, addresses themselves are on 16 bits.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: it was expected to get new network technologies using 64 bit long addresses. As far as I know there is currently none. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
