-|secondary| This address is not used when selecting a source address of a new [IPv6] packet.
-|primary| This address is used when selecting a source address of a new [IPv6] packet.
-|tentative|This address was added to an interface, but it's not yet clear if it's unique on this network segment, so the address is not used (yet).
-|deprecated|This address has expired and will not be used for further outgoing connections (but will still be around in case of connections that are still using this address)

+Each address also has a validity time, indicating how long the address should be valid for. This is usually ''forever'' for manually assigned and LinkLocal addresses.
