By the way, don't we have a problem with the current plans in 3GPP, to
burn a unique identifier inthe mobile phones and to use it as the lower
64 bits of the IPv6 address?

If the identifier is a valid EUI-64 identifier, I don't see that as anydifferent from putting an Ethernet card into an IP phone (no better, no worse).GSM phones have burned IDs that are sent over the air too - that is how thetelephone operators can blacklist a stolen phone, even if the thief swapsthe SIM card.


Ideally, the IPv6 privacy extension should still work, of course....do they?
