Use Privacy Extensions for Address
To introduce randomness into the automatic generation of IPv6
addresses, add or correct the following line in
'/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-interface':
'IPV6_PRIVACY=rfc3041'
Automatically-generated IPv6 addresses are based on the underlying hardware
(e.g. Ethernet) address, and so it becomes possible to track a piece of
hardware over its lifetime using its traffic. If it is important for a system's
IP address to not trivially reveal its hardware address, this setting should be
applied.
