Subject: IPv6 temporary addresses (Fwd: New Version Notification for
 draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-03.txt)

Folks,

We are working in a revision of RFC4941 (temporary addresses), to
address issues found in such spec -- for example, RFC4941 leads to the
same interface identifiers being employed for different prefixes (which
of course has privacy implications)

The current version of the revised spec is available at:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis

We'd really like to hear your comments and double-check if we got
everything right, if there's something that we missed, etc.

If possible, please post your feedback on the 6man list
(https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6). But I'll be happy to
receive comments here or unicast and relay them as necessary.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Fernando

Abstract:
   Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate
   addresses using a combination of locally available information and
   information advertised by routers.  Addresses are formed by combining
   network prefixes with an interface identifier.  This document
   describes an extension that causes nodes to generate global scope
   addresses with randomized interface identifiers that change over
   time.  Changing global scope addresses over time makes it more
   difficult for eavesdroppers and other information collectors to
   identify when different addresses used in different transactions
   actually correspond to the same node.  This document formally
   obsoletes RFC4941.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
