Ballot Text

- Technical Summary

Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection is an interoperable
modification of the existing IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (RFC2461) and
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC2462) process.  The intention
is to minimize address configuration delays in the successful case,
to reduce disruption as far as possible in the failure case and to
remain interoperable with unmodified hosts and routers.

this document reflects the consensus of the group.

- Protocol Quality
