“…This length is normally the same for all nodes on a given link that is running SLAAC. Even though this length is a parameter for SLAAC, determined separately for the link-layer media type of each interface, a globally fixed IID length for all linklayer media is the simplest solution and is consistent with the principles of Internet host configuration described in [RFC5505].…”

“…This can happen due to lack of understanding all the details of application behavior, or due to accidental misconfiguration. Section 2.1 of [RFC5505] states, "Anything that can be configured can be misconfigured," and discusses this in more detail.…”

In today's Internet, the need for firewalls is generally accepted in the industry, and indeed firewalls are widely deployed in practice. Unlike traditional firewalls that protect network links, host firewalls run in end-user systems. Often the result is that software may be running and potentially consuming resources, but then communication is blocked by a host firewall. It's taken for granted that this end state is either desirable or the best that can be achieved in practice, rather than (for example) an end state where the relevant software is not running or is running in a way that would not result in unwanted communication. In this document, we explore the issues behind these assumptions and provide suggestions on improving the architecture going forward.
