Hi! I have recently implemented and tested the patch at [1], which implements RFC 7217, about generating IPv6 addresses that are constant through reboots, but do not expose the MAC address of the machine, not being in any way derived by those. I'd like to get comments, testing and review for this patch, with the objective of getting approval to commit it to head once it is streamlined enough. BTW I'd like to thank cognet for his suggestions and help with the patch, in particular his help in finding the correct way to implement the dad_failures counter. And thanks in advance to anyone willing to give feedback! [1] https://reviews.freebsd.org/D49681 -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
