Routing and forwarding decisions are completely independent of what
addresses are configured on the interface. Contrary to IPv4 behavior,
the configuration of an address using P::/64 prefix does not
automatically add a route to the P::/64 prefix. What prefixes are
on-link is determined by
Hi Peter,
There are really two questions hidden in your question.

I have a question about what the correct behaviour should be for a
router if a global address fails DAD.
Specifically, if an interface has a link-local address which passes DAD,

Suresh,
okay, that's very clear.
Thanks,

Sorry, your email sounds a little confusing to me. Specifically, are you
talking about a network interface on a router where the interface fails DAD
during acquiring a global IPv6 address? Or are you talking about
From the RFC excerpt you gave, I would infer that on DAD failure of a global
address, the router doesn't install the address, and forwards all traffic
to/from that network based on the contents of its forwarding table. It does
no special filtering of packets that are sourced from or destined
