How Interface ID Allocation Mechanisms are Performed in IPv6

Published: 02 December 2014 Publication History

Abstract

IPv6 addresses contain a 64-bit Interface ID (IID) that is allocated by site administrators. A random IID allows them to reduce the effectiveness of IPv6 reconnaissance attacks. In this paper, we look at how IPv6 IIDs are assigned in practice. In particular, we classify the IPv6 server and client addresses from various trace files. We apply our classification method to a number of datasets to find different regions and different IID allocation schemes. The results show a difference among datasets, and imply that IID allocation differs between regions (as we expected).
