Just as note. The addconf spec prohibits sending rtr advs with lifetimes
less than 2 hours for valid lifetime. This was to prevent DOS on the
link. So the app has time to use new address that are not involved with
multihoming for 2 hours.
But a multihomed node should be looking at rtr adv updates with more
scrutiny.
