Is RFC8064 implemented in linux, with kernels 4.x, on openwrt? (in 
addition to BSD).

I am asking because the IPWAVE WG IPv6-over-OCB document is not 
implemented in BSD. IPv6-over-OCB is implemented extensively on linux.

The IPv6-over-OCB document suggests a 'transition time' to migrate from 
current embedded platforms that do LL addresses formed from hardwired 
MAC addresses (linux kernel 4.x openwrt) to future software where the LL 
addresses are formed from more random IID (RFC8064).

The Transport Area review of this document demands a value for this 
'transition time'.  My speculation, without knowing the current 
implementation status of RFC8064 on openwrt with kernels 4.x, is that 
the value of 'transition time' nears 5 years.
