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 link-layer 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 for 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, RFC4944, RFC5072, and
RFC5121, which require IPv6 Interface Identifiers to be derived from
the underlying link-layer address. Additionally, this document
provides advice about the generation of Interface Identifiers with
other address configuration mechanisms, such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) and manual configuration.
