When we first implemented RFC3484 for BSD variants at the KAME project we followed the SHOULD and preferred public (non temporary) addresses by default. From a quick look it doesn't change, e.g., in the most recent version of FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet6/in6_src.c?rev=1.87;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup /* * Rule 7: Prefer public addresses. * We allow users to reverse the logic by configuring * a sysctl variable, so that privacy conscious users can * always prefer temporary addresses. */ --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
