=> My opinion covers those cases too. It's a broken concept. I think an RNG is find as a generic method. We don't need to do some magic to create an IID for each case. >The need comes from further, and it may look simpler: we need to form >IPv6 addresses within a vehicle. => Use an RNG to create the 64 bits then run DAD, it's pretty straight forward.
