I agree - but with a slight clarification: the delegator associates an "expiration time" with the delegated prefix, which defines the time after which the requestor can't use the delegated prefix.

I think the requestor should be able to choose lifetimes that are shorter than the delegation duration from the delegator, and using a different term like "expiration time" would be clarifying.

Indeed RAs sent on a link associate a valid lifetime and a preferred lifetime to the advertised prefixes.If your prefix is delegated to you, the delegating entity has to provide a lifetime in order for the requestor to build meaningful RAs.Brian -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
