One of the points in having 64 bits reserved for the host portion of the address is that you never need to think or worry about individual addresses
Well, that turned out to be a farce. Instead of worrying about running out of addresses on the lan, you have to worry about other people tracking your mobile users through their static 64 bit tail (SLAAC) or having trouble internally tracking your users (privacy extensions). Give me the straightforward problem over the subtle one any time.
Both of these are solved through network-hashed persistent IPv6 privacy addresses. Owen
