Abstract:
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery includes Neighbor Unreachability Detection.
That function is very useful when a host has an alternative neighbor,
for instance when there are multiple default routers, since it allows
the host to switch to the alternative neighbor in short time. This
time is 3 seconds after the node starts probing by default. However,
if there are no alternative neighbors, this is far too impatient.
This document specifies relaxed rules for Neighbor Discovery
retransmissions that allow an implementation to choose different
timeout behavior based on whether or not there are alternative
neighbors. This document updates RFC 4861.
