--- Comment #11 from Marek Zarychta <zarychtam@plan-b.pwste.edu.pl> ---
(In reply to Zhenlei Huang from comment #9)
Yes, and we have the patch[1] from one of the authors of the RFC 8981. The
patch[1]=20
- reduces the Valid Lifetime from 1 week to 2 days,
- limits the number of concurrent temporary addresses per prefix to 2,
- deprecates the use of MD5 as the algorithm for computing the temporary II=
Ds,
- introduces using different interface-ids for each temporary address.

RFC 8981 also "Removes the recommendation that temporary addresses be disab=
led
by default. This is in line with BCP 188 ([RFC7258]) and also with BCP 204
([RFC7934]).", so perhaps also "net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr" should be bumpe=
d to
"1"" Leaving "net.inet6.ip6.prefer_tempaddr" at "0" (as is) should not
introduce any breakage.=20

Perhaps Fernando's patch could be put on the review on Phabricator and
proceeded further?
