Folks,
There were only two new emails on this subject. Given the overwhelming lack
of interest in this issue and that both responders felt that it was ok to keep
things as is (without adding ICMP errors), this issue is now closed and the

According to RFC 2492 SLLAO option should not be used
in an ATM PVC environment, yet the NA may be
transmitted as a part of DAD which is still required.
Thus with this proposal we can have an ICMP error
generated in a scenario where no error condition has
occurred.

It took me a while to figure out what you are proposing. To summ
