Title: RFC 3041 Considered Harmful
State: Active

The purpose of the privacy extensions for stateless address
autoconfiguration [1] is to change the interface identifier (and the
global-scope addresses generated from it) over time in order to make it
more difficult for eavesdroppers and other information collectors to
identify when different addresses used in different transactions actually
correspond to the same node. Current Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
prefixes than the real addresses of the compromised nodes used for attacks.
Indeed, network ingress filtering defeats DDoS using 'random' forged source
addresses.
