valid IP address means both link-local address and global address.
I guess we have to distinguish from them.

By this mention, I can summarize as follows
1) optimized DAD for link-local address can be done before DNA
2) optimized DAD for global address can be done after DNA
Correct ?

What about this distinction ?
Optimized DAD procedure;
1) optimized DAD for link-local address before DNA
2) obtaining link-local address and completing DNA
3) obtaining global address informations (prefix...)
4) composing global address
5) optimized DAD for global address ( or skipping)
Am I missing something ?
