When an interface on a host is initialized, the host transmits Router
Solicitations in order to minimize the amount of time it needs to
wait until the next unsolicited multicast Router Advertisement is
received. In certain scenarios, these Router Solicitations
transmitted by the host might be lost. This document specifies a
mechanism for hosts to cope with the loss of the initial Router
Solicitations.
This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
