PS: this does not look specific to IPv6
This does not look specific to NetworkManager, as long as NM is
working strictly in the limits created by the RFCs...
The last 64 bits are recommended to be based on the MAC address,
but not only is this not required, it is not recommended for a server.
For example:
$ host www.ietf.org <http://www.ietf.org>
www.ietf.org <http://www.ietf.org> has address 64.170.98.32
www.ietf.org <http://www.ietf.org> has IPv6 address
2001:1890:1112:1::20
How can you tell that this address was dinamically assigned, or a full
static address was designed to it?
I suspect that it a full static address as that is all any of the OSs
out there can do.
What I am asking for is, to the best of my knowledge, not supported on
any platform. It just makes sense to me that has worked with addresses
for quite some time (close to 20 years.
What I am saying is to add flexiblity so that other suffixes can
be use.
Have you ever seen this feature in any other system?
No. And it limits the usablity of RA IMHO.
