I'm not really sure if the following report is something expected (due to some unclear points about interoperability testing), but I'll give it a try: Implementation Report for RFC 3041 (IPv6 Privacy Addresses) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Implementation Name: FreeBSD 2. Submitter Name: JINMEI, Tatuya 3. Submitter E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. Code Origin: by ourselves from the scratch 5. Features Implemented: A and B below 6. Tested Interoperability by Feature: A. Lifetime Management (Section 3.4) B. DAD Operation (Section 3.3) We are (still) not really sure what kind of 'interoperability' we are expected to confirm here. I once asked the question and got the following answer from the chairs: > I was envisioning a validation that the node using RFC 3041 addresses > perform DAD for those addresses and peers cannot detect any > differences in messaging/processing. This was still not very clear to us. If this means checking whether creating a temporary address (which is to be unique on the link) and performing DAD on that address was confirmed as unique as expected without disrupting other implementations, I've confirmed that with various implementations from different origins including Linux and Solaris 10. (But this check is actually not specific to a temporary address...) Feature A is not very clear to us, either. But if this means checking whether the Lifetime Management is performed as described in Section 3.4 with some router implementations advertising RAs, I've confirmed that at least with routers developed by Cisco and Juniper. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
