not "single". If a local address management system is always configured to
hand out the same /N to the same device, there doesn't seem to be a
requirement in the above that N=1.
Lorenzo has detailed why N=1 doesn't work for devices that need to use xlat
or which might want to tether other devices; he's volunteered to work with
folks on a document and to write code for the case where a device
successfully gets a useful value of N>1.
Can you help me understand why that doesn't work for you?
On the related topic of privacy addresses, I believe we should all be ready
for increasing variability in MAC address emitted by devices, and that if
you are intending to use MAC auth to assign that /N, you may now be or
will soon be surprised. In addition to the work Apple has done and which
can be done with Android, see the IEEE work here:
