retransmission parameters should be set as for the Confirm message retransmission parameters should be set as for the Confirm message

with the associated leases, in its Rebind message. with the associated leases, in its Rebind message.
If the client has only obtained network information using If the client has only obtained network information using
Information-request/Reply message exchanges, the client MUST initiate Information-request/Reply message exchanges, the client MUST initiate
an Information-request/Reply message exchange as described in an Information-request/Reply message exchange as described in
Section 18.2.6. Section 18.2.6.
A client not detected as having moved to a new link SHOULD initiate If the client has not detected having moved to a new link but has
one of the Renew/Reply, Confirm/Reply or Information-request/Reply detected a significant change regarding the prefixes available on the
exchanges, if the client detects a significant change regarding the link, the client SHOULD initiate one of the Renew/Reply, Confirm/
prefixes available on the link. A change is considered significant Reply, or Information-request/Reply exchanges. A change is
when one or more on-link prefixes are added, and/or one or more considered significant when one or more on-link prefixes are added
existing on-link prefixes are deprecated. The reason for this is and/or one or more existing on-link prefixes are deprecated. The
that such a significant change may indicate a configuration change at reason for this is that such a significant change may indicate a

If a client receives an IA_PD with T1 greater than T2 and both T1 and If a client receives an IA_PD with T1 greater than T2 and both T1 and
T2 are greater than 0, the client discards the IA_PD option and T2 are greater than 0, the client discards the IA_PD option and
