What is the real difference with a IPv4 address and privacy? You can tell as much (more or less) with a port scan to a IPv4 address...and someone will always track the "ID" (I guess that is what I call IP address). If we are talking about the EUI64, that will disclose the vendor but hardly the make and model number.... - kurtis -
