IESG Review Eric Vyncke: guidance on changing IPv6 addresses #505

Closed mirjak closed 2 years ago

mirjak commented 2 years ago
    Should there be a section about temporary address extension for IPv6 addresses
    RFC 8981 (as some OS can be very aggressive in changing to the next IPv6
    address) ? Or is it 'just' a case of NAT rebinding ? If the latter, then one
    sentence in the introduction could be useful.

    What is the recommendation for these addresses, should the application keep
    always the first address as long as it is valid ? or should it switch to a new
    one ?

[MK] I don't think this a problem as the address is usually (at least today) not changed during an on-going connection, or?

EV> the previously used address may have become invalid (i.e., has expired) but this would only happen on very long-lasting connections. But my question is still the same: should the QUIC application tries to keep the 'original' address or should it try to use the most recent one? Giving guidance would be desirable?
