This is correct, but if you have a preferred and a deprecated prefix, the stack will automatically choose the preferred prefix. And if your ISP deprecates the prefix rather than withdrawing it, chances are that by the time it expires, there won't be any applications using it. So please don't gloss over the distinction between graceful renumbering and flash renumbering. IPv6 was designed to do graceful renumbering, and the claim that flash renumbering is no different is a major step backward from the functionality that was designed into IPv6. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
