Gentles, For the DUID contents definition (Section 11): Would you be adverse to expanding the size of the VUID to 128 bits or creating an additional type (4) for a 128 bit UUID? Reasoning: According to the dhcpv6-22 draft, "... the DUID used by a client SHOULD NOT change over time...". From what I have seen, most new laptops, desktops & workstations (especially those that come with network installed) already contain, or have space reserved for, a 128 bit UUID that is intended to be used to manage/track the system identity. Why have a vendor or IT assign yet another ID number to the system. Using the link-layer address is also not a unique solution. Consider the two cases of (1) laptops connecting to docking stations that contain network adapters and (2) replacing defective or upgrading to new network adapters. %%michael _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
