Summary: 
In this letter, we propose a new State Model for IPv6 Interfaces, which can help the administrator in determining the status of the IPv6 Interface at any instant. This State Model is superior to the current model as it provides additional information as to why an IPv6 Interface is unavailable for performing the provisioned service and, it is also flexible to define new Secondary State and Secondary State Qualifiers in the future. This State Model helps the administrator to decide what actions he may need to take to bring the Interface UP. Ths State Model is based on the Control State Machine implemented in the Samsung's IPv6 Protocol Stack.
