Hi Shree,

Are you planning to collect unused prefix based on an unused timer?
Prefixes are never "reclaimed" in SLAAC anyway. The Router will keep
advertising the prefix on the link no matter if there are any other
hosts on it or not. The prefix stays assigned to the link.
[Shree] when does the router stop sending unicast RA's to a MAC address ?
When it gets a notification from the AN that the specific DSL line is down.
Thanks
