My ISP delegates an IPv6 prefix to me with a preferred lifetime of 60 minutes, and a valid lifetime of 90 minutesWhat ISP would put a 'lifetime' on your ipv6 prefix?
Because they loan it to you while you are their customer. Unless you get PI, you don't 'own' your addresses, so you can't take them with you when you change ISPs. In IPv4 a lifetime is implicit, which might be as long/short as while your current connection is up, in IPv6 it is explicit. (other people who've responded have provided other valid reasons, so I won't repeat them)
That seems insane to me... they should give you a /48 and be done with it. Even the free tunnel brokers do that.
No they don't. They set a lifetime too, and if you change tunnel broker, you don't get to keep using the same addresses.
But then I never understood dynamic ipv4 either....
