Optimistic DAD is in the Standards Track queue now. We implemented it for Linux as part of the development process, and I'll make the patch available again soon ... I'm working on other things until the IESG/etc comments come back, then I'll update the patch and release. Some vendors have expressed their interest in implementing once it is nailed down in an RFC. Linux, at least, can be set up to not run DAD very simply by setting the DAD retransmits parameter to 0. Whether this is a good idea is another matter. There's some discussion of the original poster's question in the OptiDAD draft: see draft-ietf-ipv6-optimistic-dad-05.txt cheers, -----Nick -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
