Abstract:
This document changes the default scheme for generating stable
Interface Identifiers with SLAAC to that specified in RFC7217, and
recommends against embedding link-layer addresses in IPv6 Interface
Identifiers. It formally updates RFC2464, RFC2467, RFC2470, RFC2491,
RFC2492, RFC2497, RFC2590, RFC3146, RFC3572, RFC4291, RFC4338,
RFC4391, RFC5072, and RFC5121, by removing the text in these RFCs
that required the IPv6 Interface Identifiers to be derived from the
underlying link-layer address, and replacing the aforementioned text
with a pointer to this document. Additionally, this document updates
RFC3315 by specifying additional requirements on the generation of
Interface Identifiers used in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
version 6 (DHCPv6). It also provides advice to system administrators
who employ manual configuration. This document does not change any
existing recommendations concerning the use of temporary addresses as
specified in RFC 4941.
