IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (RFC 4861) protocol has been designed for
neighbor's address resolution, unreachability detection, address
autoconfiguration, router advertisement and solicitation. With the
progress of Internet adoption on various industries including home,
wireless and machine-to-machine communications, there is a desire for
extension or optimization of RFC 4861 protocol for more energy-
efficient networks and nodes. Research indicates that often
networked- nodes require more energy than stand-alone nodes because a
node's energy usage depends on network messages it has to receive and
or respond. While reducing energy consumption is essential for
battery operated nodes in some machines, saving energy actually a
cost factor in business in general as the explosion of more device
usage is leading to usage of more servers and network infrastructure
in all sectors of the society and business. This document describes
methods of optimizations by reducing periodic multicast messages,
frequent Neighbor Solicitation messages and provides a mechanism of
built-in prefix-dissemination in simple scenarios.
