Does this really help renumbering? e.g., if you have ACLs, they are based on the whole IPv6 address, rather than on the IID... > It's probably the complete antithesis of what Fernando is trying to > achieve, but is aimed at the type of (server) systems that would > probably be DNS-advertised anyway. Note that having an address advertised in the DNS does not necessarily means that predictable addresses are not useful to an attacker. For example, let's assume that you know that a network link hosts 100 different servers, each with a different domain. If their addresses are not predictable, and the attacker wants to find all of them, he may have to rely on a "dictionary" attack. However, if the addresses *are* predictable, he could just sweep the interested part of the address space. Note: I still don't understand the use case for this technology, or how the IIDs would be selected (but since they seem to be manually-generated, I'd expect them to be "low-byte", such as ::1, ::2, etc.).
