Abstract:
In IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), use of a random
interface identifier (IID) is a common practice to promote privacy.
If there are a very large number of nodes, as has been discussed in
several use cases, the effect will to proportionately increase the
number of IIDs. A duplicate address detection (DAD cycle) is needed
for each configured IID, introducing more and more overhead into the
network. Each failed DAD requires the initiating node to regenerate
a new IID and undergo the DAD cycle again. This document proposes an
optimized approach that requires 6LBR (6LoWPAN Border Router) to
provide a unique IID, avoiding the potential duplication.
