- Background and status about MAC address randomization work in IEEE 802 & WBA - Amelia Andersdotter, CENTR - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-zuniga-mac-address-randomization-00
- How operating systems implement today - Apple / iOS - TBD
- How operating systems implement today - Google / Android - TBD
- Use case for diagonstic and customer support (Simon Ringland, BT)
- Use case for Wi-Fi band and AP steering (Simon Ringland, BT)
- Use case to setup a server at home - (Yiu Lee, Comcast)
- Use case to protect DDoS mitigation - (Mohamed Boucadair, Orange) - https://github.com/boucadair/IETF109BoF/blob/master/madinas-ddos%20mitigation-use%20case-rev%2027102020.pdf
- Use case for access controls / parental controls - (Charter)
- Use case for service policy based on device identity (Plume)
- Use case for auto-authentication for Open SSID (Comcast, Rajat)
- Use case for UE mobility in Wi-Fi (Ajay, Benu Networks)
- Use case for DHCP Table Exhaustion (ComScope, Eli)
- Use case for resource management when mac-address is randomized (Plume)
- Questions: -- What other SSOs are working on this topic or related topics & how to best coordinate? -- Are there other communities of interest to be involved?
- Potential Actions: -- Document all major use cases currently deployed? -- Define best practices for enabling service continuity in the presence of MAC Address randomization? -- Define a method for network and application service continuity in the presence of MAC Address randomization? -- Determine whether/how/when the host OS may cooperate with the network? -- Identify better long term methods to enable network and applications services (alternatives to MAC addresses)?
