IPv6 implementation does not comply to RFC 7217 and 7721 #5618
Comments
LwIP, which is the IP-stack used here, doesn't have privacy extension, and there seem to be no recent discussion about it either. I found a question from 2022, https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/2022-08/msg00007.html, but nothing more. |
Then at least this deviation should be clearly documented as this might have consequences for the infrastructure and the users privacy. Source is here, if I'm not mistaken? I would propose a PR is this is something you would merge? |
