Technical Summary

  Neighbor Discovery Proxies are used to provide an address presence on
  a link for nodes that are no longer present on the link.  They allow
  a node to receive packets directed at its address by allowing another
  device to perform neighbor discovery operations on its behalf.

  Neighbor Discovery Proxy is used in Mobile IPv6 and related protocols
  to provide reachability from nodes on the home network when a Mobile
  Node is not at home, by allowing the Home Agent to act as proxy.  It
  is also used as a mechanism to allow a global prefix to span multiple
  links, where proxies act as relays for Neighbor discovery messages.

  Neighbor Discovery Proxy currently cannot be secured using SEND.
  Today, SEND assumes that a node advertising an address is the address
  owner and in possession of appropriate public and private keys for
  that node.  This document describes how existing practice for proxy
  Neighbor Discovery relates to Secured Neighbor Discovery.

Working Group Summary

  document.

  The document has been extensively revised based on comments
  received during IESG review.  The document was put through a
  second WG last call and there is consensus from the WG to resubmit
  the document for IETF last call and IESG review.
