In scenarios where network configuration information becomes invalid
without explicit notification to the local network, local hosts may
end up employing stale information for an unacceptably long period of
time, thus resulting in interoperability problems. This document
improves the reaction of IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration to
such configuration changes. It formally updates RFC 4191, RFC 4861,
RFC 4862, RFC 8106, and RFC 9096.
