IPv6 nodes use the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) to discover
other nodes on the link, to determine their link-layer addresses
to find routers, and to maintain reachability information about the
paths to active neighbors.  If not secured, NDP is vulnerable to
various attacks.  This document specifies security mechanisms for NDP.
Unlike those in the original NDP specifications, these mechanisms do
not use IPsec.

This document is a product of the Securing Neighbor Discovery Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
