How someone might walk along the street and see a VIN has nothing to do with Internet privacy. If this mapping mechanism is adopted, one MUST reveal the specific vehicle communicating in order to communicate at all. That is not "taking privacy into account". Most people have no idea what can be derived from correlated data. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
