Re: [PATCH v2] ipv6: fix inconsistent prefix route handling

[Steven Barth <cyrus@openwrt.org>]

Ah sorry, maybe I was a bit unclear about this. With temporary addresses 
I meant addresses created like this:

ip address add 2001:db8::1/64 dev eth0 valid_lft 1234 preferred_lft 1001

or the equivalent netlink-calls and with permanent addresses i was 
referring to addresses created similarly but with an infinite lifetime 
(e.g. through ip without giving valid_lft or preferred_lft arguments).

Hope that makes it clear.


Cheers,

Steven
