Sorry to respond to my own e-mail. But I wanted to clarify one thing. Manual recovery is fixing the problem, like reconfiguring the address. The recovery that optimistic DAD provides is however different. It just corrects a temporary disruption that the optimistic assumption may have caused.

chair hat on While the topic of Optimistic DAD is interesting, I believe we are getting work items crossed here. The consensus I see is to not make changes to 2462 wrt Optimistic DAD. Therefore, we can drop this discussion as it relates to the 2462 update. There is a slot in Seoul to discuss

Tony, I agree that 'draft-hain-templin-ipv6-localcomm' has served the useful purpose of focusing the discussion, but (like an RFP or BAA) its sole purpose was to issue a call for solution alternatives; not to propose solution alternatives or otherwise seek a more active role in itself. As such, I

The issue always has been where in IETF to get these collection of delays addressed in a co-ordinated fashion. DNA was thought to be the venue, but it has chosen not to. Given we have to address the delays piecemeal, then OptiDAD seems like a place to start. jak - Original
