Hi Hesham, James, Jim, I think that the advantages of Opti-DAD particularly are that there's no dependence on support in Router infrastructure (beyond existing ND). With FastRA, the amount of state kept and the required code changes are miniscule (was an afternoon's work for the prototype, includ

Hi Alper, I know it's a risk, especially in Mobile-ip6 case, but the implementation which we're using (mipl) doesn't de-configure existing addresses when it receives an advertisement from a new prefix. The address is not fully deprecated until the advertisement lifetime expires. I'm illustrating

Hi Richard & Thomas I'd just like to indicate that we have seen the delay for router advertisement to be a significant delay in MIPv6 handovers, since there is no DAD in the case where a mobile node moves back to a previously visited network. In this case, the RS/RA delay is the biggest factor i

James I think that the draft is missing a trigger mechanism for a fast RA response. What I mean is, that if any node not requiring a fast RA joins the link, it will use up a fast RA that will potentially cause delays for a node that would really like a fast answer. You could take one of the res
