If optimistic_dad is disabled, flags should be IFA_F_TEMPORARY,
not IFA_F_TEMPORARY|IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC.

Another idea is to use IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC not
IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC|IFA_F_TENTATIVE until the DAD has been finished.

Please do not always put IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC.

Should we join anycast even if the node is a host (not a router)?!

When you add a call to "addrconf_join_anycast()", 
you must consider when to leave this.

Please test this condition when you are adding the
address.

BTW, you have not implemented the later condition,
right?   Sefault gatewa is not tested.

Ifp is already put.  Please clear "override" in the code
where we try getting temporary source address for NS.

I disagree. Please send RS in other way.
Choose another address, or send it without SLLAO.
