Ignoring global setting is OK, i just wonder whether some global EUI-64-based unique ID should not be provided directly by the nest
That might be convenient, yeah. There's the issue of picking the right interface, though; some kind of logic that says "first interface with a configured protocol"? Or should it be a per-protocol type thing?
It would make sense to use an analogous mechanism to 32bit router id, just use IPv6-LL address instead of IPv4 address. See 'router id' / 'router id from' options and function if_choose_router_id(). One issue is that if BIRD is started during boot then IPv6-LL addresses may not be available immediately after start due to waiting for duplicate address detection. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
