I think the above could be more clear as: """ If temp_prefered_lft is less than the minimum required lifetime (typically 5 seconds), the preferred lifetime is extended to the minimum required. If temp_prefered_lft is greater than temp_valid_lft, the preferred lifetime is limited to temp_valid_lft. """ cheers, Paolo
