Hi, I've had a very brief look, because there was one specific thing I was looking for, and it doesn't seem to be there.
Addresses/IIDs have to last at least as long as the transport layer/application connections are using them, unless the transport layer/application connection takes ownership of dealing with addresses that might "change underneath them". In general, larger preferred and valid lifetimes (e.g, measured in hours or greater) and fairly stable identifiers are intended to avoid transport layer protocols/applications having to deal with them changing. Rather than trying to shorten the lifetimes and lowering the stability of addresses to the point where they may disrupt the applications using them, perhaps creating per-application or transport layer connection addresses may be a better idea, as discussed in: "Transient Addressing for Related Processes: Improved Firewalling by Using IPV6 and Multiple Addresses per Host" https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/tarp.pdf Regards, Mark. ----- Original Message ----- > From: Hosnieh Rafiee <i...@rozanak.com> > To: ipv6@ietf.org > Cc: > Sent: Sunday, 5 May 2013 5:17 AM > Subject: solution to RFC 4941 I-D action : draft-rafiee-6man-ra-privacy.txt - > > Has anybody had a chance to look at this draft > (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rafiee-6man-ra-privacy )?
