Can someone elaborate on this:

For a given prefix, the interface will always pick the same identifier, (in fact, the eui-64 algorithm will pick the same identifier across multiple prefixes)

How does the algorithm typically work? Is there a loss of privacy since identifiers are reused across prefixes? If I replace my NIC or install a different OS on my machine will the address change?
