This document describes IPv6 neighbor cache update methods from
external nodes. In current communication environments, using status
of IP addresses is frequently changed by several operations, such
as disconnecting / connecting nodes to networks at mobile
environments, suspending / hibernating / resuming nodes, and
consuming large number of IP addresses dynamically when ephemeral
address [Ephemeral] function is enabled.
When using status of an IP address is changed from "Used" to "Not
Used", its related used resources such as neighbor cache entry
should be deleted cooperatively from security enhancement viewpoint
and efficient resource management viewpoint.
[RFC4861] defines neighbor discovery methods and describes how to
manage neighbor cache entries by neighbor discovery messages.
However, [RFC4861] does not define quick and clear neighbor cache
update (delete) functions.
In order to meet above request, this document proposes two types of
IPv6 neighbor cache update (delete) methods from external nodes.
One is a heuristic type method that does NOT require neighbor
discovery message extensions. The other is an explicit type method
that requires small neighbor discovery message extensions.
