A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. Title : Enhanced Duplicate Address Detection Authors : Rajiv Asati Hemant Singh Wes Beebee Carlos Pignataro Eli Dart Wesley George Filename : draft-ietf-6man-enhanced-dad-12.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2015-01-14 Abstract: IPv6 Loopback Suppression and Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) are discussed in Appendix A of RFC4862. That specification mentions a hardware-assisted mechanism to detect looped back DAD messages. If hardware cannot suppress looped back DAD messages, a software solution is required. Several service provider communities have expressed a need for automated detection of looped back Neighbor Discovery (ND) messages used by DAD. This document includes mitigation techniques and outlines the Enhanced DAD algorithm to automate the detection of looped back IPv6 ND messages used by DAD. For network loopback tests, the Enhanced DAD algorithm allows IPv6 to self-heal after a loopback is placed and removed. Further, for certain access networks the document automates resolving a specific duplicate address conflict. This document updates RFC4861, RFC4862, and RFC4429.
