Hi Folks,
Some RFCs (I know of at least 2, RFC2526 and RFC4214) reserve a set
of interface identifiers on all prefixes. These identifiers need to be
excluded when a node autoconfigures an address. This problem occurs with
privacy addresses but is equally applicable to other address assigment
methods like dhcpv6, cga etc. As Bernie suggested in a mail it would be
good to maintain a list of such identifiers. This is possible by either
listing the currently assigned IIDs in a document, or by creating an
IANA registry. The former is useful if there will be no such allocations
in the future and the later is useful if there will be future
allocations. I have written a draft regarding this and I was wondering
if the wg considers this to be useful work worth pursuing. I would also
like to know if there are any other RFCs/drafts which depend on using
specific IIDs.
Thanks
Suresh
