What I meant is that the specific strategy Apple devices seem to be using to re-generate them - on link-up - provides little or no benefit *above* a per-link & time-based rollover.
Um, doesn't the very fact that you are complaining that this is increasing costs of logging the mapping between layer 2 and 3 addresses prove the point that it is a privacy benefit?
I'm sorry, but most things that make it more expensive for oppressive regimes to track down the true source of traffic sure seem like privacy benefits to me.
I for one say, bring it on Apple, and the rest too. I'd like an option to rotate my privacy address for every TCP session.
Yes, I'm keenly aware of the load that this puts on edge gear. It's time we figured out how to deal with it.
