Hi,

Based on update from draft-ietf-6man-default-iids (currently in RFC Editor queue) I changed the first two paragraphs of Section 4 of <draft-hinden-6man-rfc2464bis-01> to:

   4.  Stateless Autoconfiguration

   The default approach to create stable Interface Identifiers
   [I-D.ietf-6man-rfc4291bis] for use with SLAAC on an Ethernet
   interface should be based on [RFC7217].

   It is not recommended that Interface Identifiers for an Ethernet
   interface be based on IEEE MAC-layer addresses.  Earlier versions of
   this document described a method of forming interface identifiers
   derived from IEEE MAC-layer addresses called Modified EUI-64 format.
   This is described in Appendix A of [I-D.ietf-6man-rfc4291bis] and is
   no longer recommended.

Instead of having it pointing to <draft-ietf-6man-default-iids>, the new text points to RFC7271.  I thought this was better as Section 3 of <draft-ietf-6man-default-iids> says the RFC2464 should now follow RFC7271 (including should use RFC7217 and should not use stable link-layer address).  Avoids a extra hope so to speak.

I think the intent of <draft-ietf-6man-default-iids> is captured in the text in the new -01 version.

Comments?

Thanks,
Bob
