* Updated 8 / March 2005 *

[BA] By identifier I assume you mean MAC layer address, no? Of are you referring perhaps to "network identifiers" such as SSID? I would add "if available" to the end of the sentence, since some link technologies do not provide network-layer configuration.

For example, the notification indicating that the node has established a new link-layer connection can be used for immediately probing the network for a possible configuration change. In the absence of such a notification from the link-layer, IP has to wait for indications that are not immediately available, such as receipt of next scheduled router advertisement, unreachability of the default gateway, etc.
