Currently, one cannot change, add or remove addresses to/from tun interfaces with ifconfig. This makes sense for IPv4, but I suggest that this restriction be lifted for IPv6. Once link-local addresses have been negotiated, I don't particlarly see a reason why ordinary router solicitation / advertisement couldn't happen over the link outside the control of PPP. If we do not do this, then we will have to reimplement router solicitation / advertisement in PPP, which seems needless to me. Comments?
