Linux "enable EUI-64 token format"

[Ben Clifford]

Can anyone explain or provide references to what the linux 2.4 kernel
option CONFIG_IPV6_EUI64 "Enable EUI-64 token format" means?

The kernel config help says that "6bone ... is moving to a new
aggregatable address format and a new link local address assignment
(EUI-64)".

Is this documented in RFCs for example? If so, which ones?

I'm not having any problems - I just want to know what it means :-)

Thanks,

Ben
