You have a station that uses IPv6 autoconfiguration to obtain its address and the default route. Now you temporarily stop that station, e.g. it's a laptop and you put it into suspend mode. When you reawaken it some time later, the default route is gone and you either have to explicitly call rtsol(8) or wait some minutes for the next regular router advertisement to fly by. This is somewhat annoying and I don't understand why the route disappears in the first place. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
