The present invention relates to a communication system comprising a
number of end user stations (hosts) connected over access networks and
routing arrangements. The system supports a IPv6 (Internet Protocol
version 6) addressing scheme, wherein the end user stations are connected
to the routing arrangements over links, and sending of router
advertisements from router arrangements to end user stations (hosts)
being implemented to support provisioning of IPv6 addresses for the end
user station. Router advertisements (RAs) from a routing arrangement to
an end user station are sent with a controllable and variable frequency
during an initial phase. During said initial phase, the frequency is
higher at the beginning and lower at the end.
