"Starting" an IPv6 address with IPaddr2 involves performing Duplicate Address Detection which typically takes at least 1000 ms. Allow the user to disable DAD if they can guarantee that the configured address is not duplicate and they wish to start the resource faster.
"Starting" an IPv6 address with IPaddr2 involves sending Neighbor Advertisement packets to inform neighboring machines about the new IP+MAC translation. By default, 5x packets with 200 ms sleep after each are sent which delays the start by 1000 ms. Allow the user to run this operation in background, similarly as is possible with GARP for IPv4.
Change the log message in add_interface() from "Adding ... (with <opt1>) (with <opt2>)" to "Adding ... (with <opt1> <opt2>)".
* Mention that 'arp_*' parameters are shared by the IPv4 and IPv6 code. * Clarify description of these parameters and mark which of them apply only to IPv4.
