Re: 3484bis and privacy addresses

[Mohacsi Janos <[e-mail]>]

Dear All,
 	option B prefered with RFC 4941 section 3.6 properly implemented 
as:
"   Devices implementing this specification MUST provide a way for the
    end user to explicitly enable or disable the use of temporary
    addresses.
....
  Additionally, sites might wish to selectively enable or disable the
    use of temporary addresses for some prefixes.
....
    implementations SHOULD provide a way to enable and disable generation
    of temporary addresses for specific prefix subranges.  This per-
    prefix setting SHOULD override the global settings on the node with
    respect to the specified prefix subranges.  Note that the pre-prefix
    setting can be applied at any granularity, and not necessarily on a
    per-subnet basis.
"
