The current revision of the draft contains a normative reference to RFC 4941 but it doesn't seem to have any language in section 2.3 specifying host behavior that would prevent it from using any other sort of statelessly autoconfigured addresses that would pose the same problem for network administrators that privacy addresses do, i.e. make it difficult to identify authoritatively which host is the originator of any particular traffic given only the source addresses in the captured IPv6 headers. It just says, hosts MUST have a conceptual variable that controls whether they generate temporary addresses. That doesn't prevent them from generating persistent ones that pose the same problem for network administrators as RFC 4941 privacy addresses. I think some wordsmithing is still required here. I have no useful advice for how to do that because I'm not entirely sure I understand what this draft is hoping to accomplish, much less how it hopes to do it. -- james woodyatt <[email protected]> member of technical staff, core os networking -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
