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.
