I pre-apologize, as always, for my ignorance, but...is there an implementation of this? Specifically, I'm mildly concerned about this for link-local addresses.
Compliant implementations cannot even begin any IPv6 link-local operations until the secret key has been loaded from stable storage. They also should load the DAD_Counter from non-volatile memory before starting link-local operations. And they MUST NOT fallback to other link-local autoconfig implementations (last paragraph of section 4). I agree that this all seems fine in theory. Are we collectively convinced this will not lead to tragically (IPv6-)orphaned machines in certain scenarios? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
