DetailsIf a profile is configured for stateless IPv6, netctl waits until the tentative address can be verified unique. However, if the kernel is configured for Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4429), this delay shouldn't be introduced.
In many situations, the risk of collision of IPv6 addresses is negligible. Optimistic DAD allows faster network start times in those cases. It is not enabled by default. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure kernel for Optimistic DAD: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.optimistic_dad=1 2. Start profile with stateless IPv6 3. The delay is observable, and can be understood using tools like tcpdump

Isn't this a bug in `ip`? This bug suggests that `ip -6 addr show dev "$Interface" tentative` also lists addresses of type/state 'optimistic', which are not tentative in the sense of the RFC.
