https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941 defines IPv6 privacy extensions, which mitigate that issue.
One of the few benefits of an extended roll-out of IPv6 is that there's been time for people to identify issues like this and get fixes rolled out widely before systems started relying on the old behaviour.
- mehrdadn 8y agoWhat percentage of IPv6-supporting routers have implemented and activated those privacy extensions?
- detaro 8y agoIt's a feature of the client device, not the router, and is implemented in all major operating systems. They are not perfect though, since at least the original design was purely timer-based, which left some tracking potential.
