Hi Everyone, I have an ethernet interface for which I am defining the Interface-ID in a different manner.
For an ethernet interface with MAC "34-56-78-9A-BC-DE", I am defining the Interface-ID to be "34-56-78-xy-zw-9A-BC-DE" instead of "36-56-78-FF-FE-9A-BC-DE" where x,y,z,w are my implementation-defined octets. Note: 1. I am fine with a locally-unique Interface-ID 2. The solicited-node multicast address i'll generate for a given unicast/anycast address based on this Interface-ID is the same as that for RFC 2464 based Interface-ID. Assuming I make this change in an IPv6 stack which conforms to RFCs 2464 - Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks 3513 - Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Addressing Architecture 4861 - Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6) 4862 - IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration 3810 - Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) for IPv6 After this change, will I still conform to these RFCs??
