Public bug reported: iputils-ping includes ping6 which can send Node Information requests, e.g:
ping6 -N name ipv6:addr::ess but there is no system daemon to listen and respond. iputils package contains ninfod which performs that function but it isn't built or packaged. For IPv6 networks Node Information is a valuable service in that it allows nodes to enhance ND/NA by providing their FQDN (Name query) and list of addresses (Addresses query).
