Vijay,
I think it's been safe to say for many years that *all*
IP addresses, of either family, are transient, with limited
exceptions (i.e. stable servers). I don't see that IPv6
autoconf addresses are qualitatively different in that respect.
It is a deep design bug that when applications obtain

It depends. SLAAC-created addresses are pretty much fixed as long as the

Hi Everyone,

I know that we could configure them to have infinite lifetimes & such,
but I am thinking of a large IPv6 deployment where these addresses are
