Re: the IPv6 Ethernet lost bits - fffe

[Francis Dupont <Francis.Dupont at fdupont.fr>]

 In your previous mail you wrote:

   The world has more devices than Ethernet. The Ethernet MAC -> EUI-64
   trick (thus your lost fffe bits) is just a trick. Take firewire for
   example which uses full EUI-64.
   
=> hum, unfortunately Firewire is the bad example: it uses EUI-64 for IDs,
addresses themselves are on 16 bits.

PS: it was expected to get new network technologies using 64 bit long
addresses. As far as I know there is currently none.
