2006-11-02 Thread Templin, Fred L
The question of proxy/relay DAD for multilink networks that comprise shared links has come up on the NETLMM and Autoconf mailing lists. Proxy/relay DAD is a mechanism whereby NS(DAD) messages are relayed to the link on which a node with a colliding address resides, with the colliding node's NA(DAD)
