Straw poll: autoconf vs manual conf

(I realize this list might not represent the bulk of the deployed IPv6 networks... nonetheless, I'm curious.) This is an informal survey of what is deployed in terms of IPv6 networks. Do you use autoconf only, static assignments only, or a mix? Any additional info about what, why, etc., would be

I was attempting to get to the bottom of what is, to me, a mystery: Why does IPv6 use EUI-64 for Interface Identifiers, instead of MAC-48? The previous version of the RFCs used MAC-48. There seems to have been, at some point, some discussion regarding the difference between EUI-48 and MAC-48, as

I think we should avoid any "straw man" arguments, as those tend not to actually help advance the subject matter. Just because one way of accomplishing a particular networking objective, involves particularly unpleasant choices, does not mean that the technology involved is at fault. It is also po
