Hi, every member of the 6man working group,good day! I want to describe clearly what this draft is hoping to accomplish. Please give me a chance.
In some sites, the network administrators want to deploy SLAAC, and just permit the EUI-64 addresses to communicate with the Internet.They will do as follows: (1)Bind the MAC address and the EUI-64 address for each host on the access switches. Because the privacy addresses are varying, it is impossible to bind the MAC address and the privacy address. (2)Disable the privacy addresses on each host.Why?Because the privacy addresses is preferred as the source of the outbound IPv6 traffic.Now it is difficult to disable the privacy addresses on all the hosts in the site,because: (2.1)The network administrator has to notify every one to disable the privacy adrresses.In the enterprise with thousands of employees, it is very difficult to ensure that every one will see the notice. (2.2)Many people are not familier with the host operation system, they don't know how to disable the privacy addresses. So I advise to add the DisablePrivacy flag to the prefix-information option.It is helpful in the above scenario. Thank you! Yu Hua bing
