Detailed Description
Currently DUID LL(T) is used for IPv6 address assignment and prefix delegation. This lead to issues with devices which don't have hardware address assigned (like PPP) or devices which are not constantly assigned to the "server" (like wireless/usb devices etc). There are two main issues caused by this:
- Posible violation of RFC 3315
- DUID cannot be assembled due to lack of hardware address which leads dhclient to exit with error and manual intervention is required. Bug#626514
- DUID is changed between dhclient restarts as the result ISP doesn't delegate prefix which cause delays and connection outages Bug#1163379
Benefit to Fedora
Currently DUID LL(T) is used for IPv6 address assignment and prefix delegation. This lead to issues with devices which don't have hardware address assigned (like PPP devices) or devices which are not constantly assigned to the "server" (like wireless/usb devices etc). There are two main issues caused by this:
- DUID cannot be assembled due to lack of hardware address which leads dhclient to exit with error and manual intervention is required. Bug#626514
- DUID is changed between dhclient restarts as the result ISP doesn't delegate prefix which cause delays and connection outages Bug#1163379
Changing default to DUID UUID should solve mentioned issue and bring consistency within the distribution (NetworkManager uses DUID UUID from the beginning). As this change depends on systemd feature (machineid) it may be hard to get patches merged upstream
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Release engineering: #Releng issue number (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)

- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
Upgrade/compatibility impact
This impact all installation which use dhclient to obtain ipv6 address or prefix. During the upgrade default duid changes from duid-ll to duid-uuid. Manual intervention is needed to protect old duid (or to update) is not decided yet.
