Since then, the working group has developed a position on how user privacy should be supported by ISPs and software/hardware vendors. To mitigate privacy issues with potentially life-long IP addresses for every user, users should be empowered to choose what’s best for them. Join Benjamin at this BoF to offer your input on this and discuss, among other topics, how: - The introduction of IPv6 influences data retention laws - Your MAC address is used as part of an IPv6 host address - Privacy concerns in Germany are going to influence ISPs’ IPv6 assignment practices
