Abstract:
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, m2m and Cellular(LTE) networks, there is a desire for
optimizing legacy IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol to be more
efficient in terms of number of signaling messages in the network.
This document describes a method of optimization by reducing periodic
multicast messages, frequent Neighbor Solicitation messages and
supports interoperability with legacy IPv6 nodes and avoids Duplicate
Address Detection by introducing an address Registration mechanism.
Efficient IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol is useful for energy-
efficient IPv6 networks as well as Data Center and Home Networks.
