Title : IPv6 Backbone Router

Abstract:
Backbone Routers running IPv6 Neighbor Discovery can manage multiple
wireless links to form a large MultiLink Subnet, but it is more
efficient if IPv6 Neighbor Discovery packets are not broadcast over
the wireless links. This specification specifies proxy operations
for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery on behalf of devices located on
broadcast-inefficient wireless networks. Backbone Routers placed
along the wireless edge of the backbone handle IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery, and route packets on behalf of registered nodes. Wireless
nodes register, or are registered by proxy, to a Backbone Router to
establish proxy services in a fashion similar to layer-2 association.
