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
optimizing legacy IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol for 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 receives and
responds. 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 a
method of optimizations by reducing periodic multicast messages,
frequent Neighbor Solicitation messages and discusses
interoperability with legacy IPv6 nodes. This document also
addresses the ND denial of service issues by introducing node
Registration procedure.
