   Hosts in IPv4 networks typically acquire addresses by use of DHCP,
   and retain that address and only that address while the DHCP lease
   remains valid.  In IPv6 networks, hosts may use DHCPv6, but may
   instead autoconfigure their own global addresses, and potentially use
   many privacy addresses over time.  This behaviour places an
   additional burden on network operators who require address
   accountability for their users and devices.  There has been some
   discussion of this issue on various mail lists; this text attempts to
   capture the issues to encourage further discussion.
