The above is the state diagram for the client.

(Renew, NotOnlink) and (Rebind, NotOnlink) is NA here, because, the server
will make lifetimes as 0, in the case the addresses are not in the link.

But (Confirm, NotOnlink) is a applicable. If the server finds that one or
more prefixes are not appropriate, then it will send NotOnlink status.
I think, for the confirm also, server can do operation similar to
(Renew, NotOnlink) but with little bit change. If one or more addresses are
not appropriate to the link, it can return those addresses ONLY with status
NotOnLink, else it canreturn SUCCESS. Thus the client can continue using
the addressses which are appropriate to the link. This will avoid client
sending SOLICIT unnecessarily.
