Proposed Resolution: revise section 5.7 as follows. 5.7 Retaining Configured Addresses for Stability
An implementation that has stable storage may want to retain addresses in the storage when the addresses were acquired using stateless address autoconfiguration. Assuming the lifetimes used are reasonable, this technique implies that a temporary outage (less than the valid lifetime) of a router will never result in the node losing its global address even if the node were to reboot. When this technique is used, it should also be noted that the expiration times of the preferred and valid lifetimes must be retained, in order to prevent the use of an address after it has become deprecated or invalid. Further details on this kind of extension are beyond the scope of this document. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
