If "the same link as before" includes a link that your host was attached a
while ago, the above statement is not always true. As Bernard and John
pointed out, DHCP case is safe as the network guarantees the configuration
during your lease. But in the case of IPv6 address autoconfiguration, nobody
is there to defend your address on your behalf while you are gone.
