I read the draft and wasn't sure what problem they were trying to solve. =
They talk about moving from network to network which seems aimed at =
laptops or mobile devices. But randomizing the interface id but keeping =
it the same on a particular network allows consistency on each network =
but you could still be tracked on that network (like using the MAC =
address) even though you couldn't be tracked across networks (unlike =
using the MAC address).

Why not just use temporary addresses (RFC 4941)?

On the server side, this draft could be implemented in rtadvd. Not sure =
who maintains that.

Is that what you're looking for? To see if someone is working on changes =
to rtadvd?

Thanks,
Tom
