Title : Recommendations to achieve efficient Router Reachability
Detection in IPv6 networks
Author(s) : S. Narayanan
Filename : draft-narayanan-dna-rrd-01.txt
Pages : 14

Detecting Network Attachment (DNA) requires the rapid detection of
link identity and validation of the current IP configuration [3].
Even though acquiring the configuration for a new link is outside the
scope of DNA, mechanisms that can accomplish both DNA and collect
possible configuration information about the current link will prove
to be very useful in rapidly changing network environments. RFC 2461
defines a Router Discovery (RD) procedure [1] to learn about the
available access routers on an L3 link. RFC 2461 [1] also defines
Neighbor Discovery (ND) procedure to discover neighbors in the same
link. This draft recommends a few simple modifications to the Router
Discovery (RD) procedure defined by RFC 2461 [1] that can lead to
efficient Router Reachability Detection (RRD), while enabling the
quick learning of other available routers if the current router is
not available.

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
Internet-Draft.
