I'm aware of several IEEE link layers and none uses 64bit addresses. IEEE tries to have them all 48bit. Even non-IEEE (like USB) tries to be 48bit.

Have you ever heard of EUI-64?

Well yes, good pointer.

One notable IEEE protocol which uses EUI-64 is Firewire (IEEE 1394). For
more info see RFC 3146.

Thanks for this pointer too. I must ack I've not experimented IPv6 nor IPv4 over Firewire. Are there some implementations of IPv6 over Firewire?
