Implement the upcoming rev of RFC4941 (IPv6 temporary addresses):
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-09
* Reduces the default Valid Lifetime to 2 days
The number of extra addresses employed when Valid Lifetime was
7 days exacerbated the stress caused on network
elements/devices. Additionally, the motivation for temporary
addresses is indeed privacy and reduced exposure. With a
default Valid Lifetime of 7 days, an address that becomes
revealed by active communication is reachable and exposed for
one whole week. The only use case for a Valid Lifetime of 7
days could be some application that is expecting to have long
lived connections. But if you want to have a long lived
connections, you shouldn't be using a temporary address in the
first place. Additionally, in the era of mobile devices, general
applications should nevertheless be prepared and robust to
address changes (e.g. nodes swap wifi <-> 4G, etc.)
* Employs different IIDs for different prefixes
To avoid network activity correlation among addresses configured
for different prefixes
* Uses a simpler algorithm for IID generation
No need to store "history" anywhere
