Networking - IP v6 Renumbering

Changing IP addresses for a group of hosts becomes a lot easier now, as all that’s required is for routers to stop advertising the old prefix and to start advertising a new one. Hosts will automatically create new addresses for themselves and notice that the old addresses are no longer “refreshed.” To avoid interruptions in ongoing sessions when the old addresses are suddenly removed, the old addresses are only “deprecated” at first, meaning they may still be used in existing communication sessions but for new sessions are set up using nondeprecated addresses.
