Detailed explanation-1: -EUI-64 (Extended Unique Identifier) is a method we can use to automatically configure IPv6 host addresses. An IPv6 device will use the MAC address of its interface to generate a unique 64-bit interface ID.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 for Smart Object Networks-A Technology Refresher In most cases, the leftmost 64 bits are used to identify the network portion of the address (thus implying a /64 prefix length) and the rightmost 64 bits are used to identify the host portion of the address.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you were to look at an IPv6 address, the leftmost set of numbers–the first 48 bits–is called the site prefix. The subnet ID is the next 16 bits. The subnet ID lays out site topology. The last 64-bits are called the interface ID, which can be automatically or manually configured.
