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.

[BA] This seems to imply that assignment of a new address via PPP IPCP (an event) would need to be "confirmed" by DNA. The current DNAv4 spec assumes that this is not necessary; essentially the bi-directional reachability established via PPP IPCP is "good enough" to not require an additional demonstration of default gateway reachability.
