[fgont] We do mean 4291bis. That say, RFC8064/RFC7217 already do part of the job:
|
||||||
|
they replace the algorithm of "embedding the MAC address in the IPv6" with one
|
||||||
|
that embeds random bits of an appropriate length. That is, strictly speaking, we
|
||||||
|
don't een need /64 for SLAAC, except for backward compatibility. (*)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(*) as long as the local subnet is large enough and the IID collision rate is low enough.
