A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. Title : Recommendation on Stable IPv6 Interface Identifiers Authors : Fernando Gont Alissa Cooper Dave Thaler Will Liu Filename : draft-ietf-6man-default-iids-01.txt Pages : 7 Date : 2014-10-08 Abstract: The IPv6 addressing architecture defines Modified EUI-64 format Interface Identifiers, and the existing IPv6 over various link-layers specify how such identifiers are derived from the underlying link- layer address (e.g., an IEEE LAN MAC address) when employing IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). The security and privacy implications of embedding hardware addresses in the Interface Identifier have been known and understood for some time now, and some popular IPv6 implementations have already deviated from such schemes to mitigate these issues. This document changes the recommended default Interface Identifier generation scheme to that specified in RFC7217, and recommends against embedding hardware addresses in IPv6 Interface Identifiers. It formally updates RFC2464, RFC2467, RFC2470, RFC2491, RFC2492, RFC2497, RFC2590, RFC3146, RFC3572, RFC4291, RFC4338, RFC4391, RFC5072, and RFC5121, wihch require IPv6 Interface Identifiers to be derived from the underlying link-layer address.
