This informational document discusses the use of manually configured
IPsec security associations to protect IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND)
messages. IPsec security associations are generally identified by
the triple (security parameters index, destination address,
protocol). In the case of Neighbor Discovery, configuring these
associations requires some effort, however. There are multiple known
destination addresses plus a number of addresses that depend on the
physical link addresses. This document describes the security
implications of protecting or not protecting the Neighbor Discovery
messages and lists the security associations that must be configured
manually. The presented method is applicable only in small networks,
but some approaches for reducing the configuration effort are
discussed.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
