Which has the same net effect of using the new prefix. -éric > -----Original Message----- > From: ipv6-wg-admin at ripe.net [mailto:ipv6-wg-admin at ripe.net] On Behalf Of > Ivan Pepelnjak > Sent: mercredi 27 juillet 2011 10:26 > To: 'Tim Chown' > Cc: ipv6-wg at ripe.net > Subject: RE: [ipv6-wg] dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential > customers > > There's a minimum timeout of 2 hours hard-coded in the SLAAC RFC to prevent > DoS attacks.
