Hi.
This is my draft, the link is

Please give some advice.Thank you.
Abstract
IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration described by RFC4862 only supports
64-bit prefixes. This approach can't be deployed in the sites

Hi Karl,
The solicited node multicast address is just a pre-filter. Any collision that
will be detected with your proposed 32 bit solicited node multicast address
will also be detected with a 24 bit solicited node multicast address. How many
nodes do you expect to have on your link?
Cheers

How come solicited node multicast addresses use only 24 bits of the
host's IPv6 address? It looks like there is space for many more; 64 more
at a pinch. Using more bits from the host address would decrease even
further the likelihood of two nodes sharing the same SNM address.
