Hi Pete,

This is a good comment. If we are making any assumption that even after a
handover, the DHCP transactions are still hitting the same DHCP server
node, this may be a valid concern. But, if DHCP transactions are locally
terminated after handover (Ex: RFC5844/MAG), then the updated properties
can be provided as part of the new DHCP transaction. Some parameters such
as MTU settings do change after an handover and so we can probably agree
that address properties can change as well.
