Count me in the group who would like to change the title. I propose using the word "opaque" instead: Long Title: "Stateless Automatic IPv6 Address Configuration (SLAAC) with Stable and Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers" Short Title: "SLAAC with Stable and Opaque IIDs" I propose to use the word "opaque" here because the pseudo-random number generator is an implementation detail. The objective is to remove the semantic content of the EUI-64 formatted MAC address from all the IP addresses that a host needs to use. The privacy consideration is only one of several goals that achieving that objective is meant to address. Another goal is to reduce the likelihood of IID collision. -- james woodyatt <j...@apple.com> core os networking -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
