Hiho,
after we experimented a lot with (especially short) lifetimes on various
platforms and tested renumbering procedures, I have an urgent question.
Shouldn't a client react when its valid lifetime times out and the
interface loses the address?
There may be a number of reasons why RAs stop

are at least in months and are announced in days. And don't forget
the 2 hour rule.

I would have expected, that immediately when an interface removes its
(last) global address, it will try to obtain a new one, sending out an
immediate RS. This is not the case on various platforms.
RFC2462 does not give this advise or at least I was unable to find it.
