And at least, there is a RFC related to that, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217.Yes, but in the case of Windows, that happens with SLAAC without DHCP.
Yes, and SLAAC is what rfc7217 is about
TTBOMK, this is unique to windows.
Nope. See for example the stable_secret setting in https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt But Linux doesn't create this in addition to the EUI-64 derived address. It creates in instead. And it won't happen by default. Only if you configure a secret. Except for weird interfaces without any EUI-64 identifier, like raw IP interfaces, which will use this code to support SLAAC. How does Windows manage to *use* three addresses? I can understand how the rfc7217 address and the privacy address can be use for different purposes, but what do they use the EUI-64 address for? Bjørn
