Usage Information
Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is defined in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless
Address Autoconfiguration protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol
used with IPv4. It defines mechanisms for solving problems, such as:
• Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link
• Prefix discovery: Hosts can discover address prefixes for the link.
• Parameter discovery
