true. and if the dialup host only had intermittent connectivity anyway,
having the DNS name dynamically bound to the IP address (when the host
is connected) is about as go

Well, in the dialup exa
I trust we will get a quick "hum" to the proposition that "truncating" the
v4addr to a /25 does not, in a dhcp, or in a static address regime, offer
a great deal of "privacy enhancement", given the effectiveness of profiling
and the sparsity of "like browsing sequences" at any collection moment.

It is very clear that the best way to actually maintain anonymity is to
use the "tunnelling" solution, i.e. relay you requests through an
anonymizing proxy. This is true for both IPv6 and IPv4. Indeed, the
catch is that the provided anonymity is only as good as the anonymizer.

Hello,
It seems to me that Mobile IPv6 could go a long way towards
solving this problem, in conjunction with some sort of automatic
home address assignment capability. This topic has been already
discussed in connection with the need to support automatic
renumbering. Further work could be done

Yes, this solves the lower-8-bytes in a notional 8+8, in the
