Tatuya, OK, it's alright to say an accident, but this accident caused the security problem because we still think if Host1 is receiving traffic that was meant to go to Host2, it's a security problem. You also described the other security problem case where you said, Host1 is not compliant to

Why is solving the problems with a DAD change not a perfect solution ? The problems are serious enough for deployed codebase to change. It's not like we are asking to replace IPv6 hardware. It's a software change for deployed code base. Anyhow, Tatuya has already said most hosts he has tested with

Related to this topic, long time ago when the choices of a) DAD only on link local, and not on other addresses derived from the same id (legal on original RFC) b) do DAD indivially on each address were discussed, I preferred (a) (and still do), and proposed an additional logic on hosts using

We originally wanted to make changes to 2462bis I-D, but since it's in AUTH state, that may not be possible anymore. If you want, we can let 2462bis I-D not make our proposed change, but our security case and solution needs to be addressed in an I-D to highlight the problem with older
