Fw: eui-64 option - I think I got it - part 2

And, upon further reflection, I think you don't have to be consistent.

 For example, let's say you have routers connected to the same subnet.

 rtr A int e0 --------------- e0 rtr B

 On rtr A you could use the eui-64 option but on router B you don't use the
 eui-64 option.

And, I also think, this is true whether or not the interfaces are LAN or WAN

 From ipv6 point of view everything is fine.

 While I'm not recommending this - I think the addressing method should be
 consistent - ipv6 wouldn't have a problem with this.

 Does everyone agree with this assessment?
