Abstract:
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery includes Neighbor Unreachability Detection.
That function is very useful when a host has an alternative, for
instance multiple default routers, since it allows the host to switch
to the alternative in short time. This time is 3 seconds after the
node starts probing by default. However, if there are no
alternatives, this is far too impatient. This document specifies
relaxed rules for Neighbor Discovery retransmissions that allows an
implementation to choose different timeout behavior based on whether
or not there are alternatives.
