Technical Summary
This document specifies the Neighbor Discovery protocol for IP
Version 6. IPv6 nodes on the same link use Neighbor Discovery to
discover each other's presence, to determine each other's link-layer
addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information
about the paths to active neighbors.
Working Group Summary
This document is a work item of the IPV6 WG. There is strong WG
consensus to move this protocol to Draft Standard.
Protocol Quality
This document was reviewed for the IESG by Margaret Wasserman
and Jari Arkko.

Once the host sends a Router Solicitation, and receives a valid
Router Advertisement with a non-zero Router Lifetime, the host MUST
desist from sending additional solicitations on that interface, until
the next time one of the above events occurs. Moreover, a host
SHOULD send at least one solicitation in the case where an
advertisement is received prior to having sent a solicitation.
Responses to solicited advertisements are expected to contain complete
information.
