From 955189efb44742890f33c91df478877af25246da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 16:54:09 -0800 Subject: [IPV6]: ADDRCONF: Use our standard algorithm for randomized ifid. RFC 3041 describes an algorithm to generate random interface identifier. In RFC 3041bis, it is allowed to use different algorithm than one described in RFC 3041. So, let's use our standard pseudo random algorithm to simplify our implementation. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S.
