Re: RFC: Implementation of RFC 7217 [A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers, with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)]

Hello!

I have polished the patch and it did get further testing.

I've been asked to get one more approval from someone more knowledgeable 
about the IPv6 stack before being able to commit this code.

It works fine and I'd like to commit it soon so it can get proper 
testing and avoid rotting as a patch.

Since I am not src committer I'll need explicit approval to commit to 
the src tree.


Thanks in advance!
