Implementation specific Interface-ID

[Vijayrajan ranganathan <vijayrn at gmail.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I have an ethernet interface for which I am defining the Interface-ID
in a different manner.

For an ethernet interface with MAC "34-56-78-9A-BC-DE", I am defining
the Interface-ID to be "34-56-78-xy-zw-9A-BC-DE" instead of
"36-56-78-FF-FE-9A-BC-DE"

where x,y,z,w are my implementation-defined octets.

Note:
1. I am fine with a locally-unique Interface-ID
2. The solicited-node multicast address i'll generate for a given
unicast/anycast address based on this Interface-ID is the same as
that for RFC 2464 based Interface-ID.


Assuming I make this change in an IPv6 stack which conforms to RFCs

2464 - Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks
3513 - Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Addressing Architecture
4861 - Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
4862 - IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
3810 - Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) for IPv6

After this change, will I still conform to these RFCs??


Thanks & Regards
Vijay
