I don't understand why RFC2464 is referenced in this context. This
RFC is about IPv6 over Ethernet, and assumes a fixed (6 bytes)
length of hardware address.
I don't quite know what to do about this. I actually just copied this
language from RFC 3315. I think that the citation is also wrong in RFC
3315, for the same reason as given here. I could simply delete the
reference to RFC 2464.
I don't see "Since the link-layer address can be of variable length
[RFC2464], the DUID-LLT is of variable length." in RFC3315. See also
the followup comment by Bernie. Deleting the reference will certainly
address my concern, and I personally don't mind not having a reference
here.
