Abstract


   Internet users are becoming more aware that their activity over the
   Internet leaves a vast digital footprint, that communications might
   not always be properly secured, and that their location and actions
   can be tracked.  One of the main factors that eases tracking Internet
   users is the wide use of long-lasting, and sometimes persistent,
   identifiers at various protocol layers.  This document focuses on MAC
   addresses.

   There have been several initiatives within the IETF and the IEEE 802
   standards committees to overcome some of these privacy issues.  This
   document provides an overview of these activities to help
   coordinating standardization activities in these bodies.
