Hello,
   I have a question about the SNMP IP address table in RFC 4293.  For 
privacy IPv6 addresses (as described in RFC 3041), it appears that the 
ipAddressOrigin MIB object is supposed to be set to a value of random(6). 
Is this true also for these addresses as defined by RFC 4941, where sites 
can selectively enable or disable the use of privacy addresses for some 
prefixes? 

Thanks,

Kristine Adamson
