Detailed Description

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:

  1. DUID cannot be assembled due to lack of hardware address which leads dhclient to exit with error and manual intervention is required.
  2. DUID is changed between dhclient restarts as the result ISP doesn't delegate prefix which cause delays and connection outages

Changing default to DUID UUID should solve mentioned issue and bring consistency within the distribution (NetworkManager uses DUID UUID from the beginning).

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.
