I believe they are generally stable in that once a DUID is associated with an address, that association is persistent, but that may also be implementation dependent. > > P.S.: I understand this is likely to vary from one implementation to > another... so please describe which implementation/version you're > referring to. I have limited experience with the ISC DHCPv6 server. Mostly I just use SLAAC. Owen
