During some IPv6 numbering discussions at work today, someone had a
question that I hadn't really considered before. How to choose 32-bit
router IDs for IPv6-only routers.

arbitrary 32 bit number unique in the autonomous system.  even in an
ipv4 world it does not need to match any configured interface address.
