Missed my point. You can't implement part of ND for a feature like MIPv6. You have to understand ND as a software engineer. Understood. But there are different boxes that need to implement different things. Home agents need to implement the 'H' bit in the RA and the 'R' bit in the prefix

Hi James, The primary issue is whether the ND spec itself should benefit. I agree. I think it should. My suggestion is that MIPv6 discusses what is needed for MIPv6 (maybe even moved into an appendix) and this data is taken as a starting point for updating 2461. The behavior of DAD
