Hi, 

Thanks for your comments.  
I would like to discuss some of them in-line before resubmission.  

Cheers,

We have to reset path information before transmitting ASCONF from the new source address.  
Because when we obviously change the source address (i.e., deletion of the last local address), we don't know any information of the path (e.g., RTT) between the new source address and the existing destination address.

Oops, I fix, thanks!

Agreed, it's more simple.

Sockets are added to auto_asconf_eplist only when the sysctl parameter is on.

I believe auto_asconf should be enabled by both of sysctl and setsockopt as well as FreeBSD implementation does.  
Adopting the same methods could be helpful for applications concerning auto_asconf availability.  
I agree to set the sysctl parameter to 0 by default.
