This is actually what PPPv6 (RFC2472)suggests: "As long as the Interface Identifier is negotiated in the IPV6CP phase of the PPP connection setup, it is redundant to perform duplicate address detection as a part of the IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration protocol [3]. Therefore it is recommended that for PPP links with the IPV6CP Interface-Identifier option enabled the default value of the DupAddrDetectTransmits autoconfiguration variable [3] be zero."
