RFC 2461 : Neighbor Discovery

2004-04-14 Thread Subramonia Pillai - CTD, Chennai
Hi, I am running IPV6CP for PPP links. I will come to know the link local address from IPV6CP itself. I can also derive (global eui-64 based) global unicast address based on IPV6CP identifier. My doubt is Should I run ND on PPP links in addition? Can any one please tell me with the reason?

From router point of view, global address can be get from Configuration. So I am still thinking, for router case do we need ND? = Do you think hosts connected to your router will need the information I mentioned in the last email? If yes, they will send RSs. I don't know what you're

I suggest dropping stateful from the description because of the potential for confusion inherent in providing a stateful protocol for *other* configurations with stateless DHCPv6 [RFC 3736]. This confusion arises from the unfortunate decision to differentiate RFC 2462 address assignment from

In any event, perhaps the best way to simplify the protocol would be to drop the O bit altogether. That is, make no attempt to control how a host goes about finding the additional configuration information. There was a brief discussion about this issue at an IPv6 WG interim meeting (Aug

Followup on the meaning of stateless - one way to interpret stateless in the context of DHCPv6 is: does not require the maintenance of any dynamic state for individual clients (RFC 3736). The server does, of course, maintain configuration state and can make decisions about the response sent to

That is not a 3rd party scenario. The network manager is serving 2 sets of customers. Therefore the network manager is required to keep the services to those independent customer sets straight. If the 'outsider' (party 1) gets back unusable addresses it is the network manager's (party 2) problem.
