Hiya James, correct me if I'm wrong but the suffixes are both calculated from the same key, but since the "other parameters" are different, the suffixes will be different. > Yes, that's the concern.

My assumption is that SEND WG will adapt to the changes that RFC2462bis will make. So if we tweak 2462 to require configuration of a link-local address per suffix, SEND-CGA nodes will do this. This will then prevent (well, detect) collision as discussed above. Why not just specify this in SEND then? Well, because it's a DAD issue which applies to other protocols which would like to configure one or more arbitrary suffixes, eg: privacy addressing. -----Nick (who couldn't fit in the door at mip6!) -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
