Pascal commented on the list that the Neighbor Cache is used differently
than in RFC4861 thus it should have a different name etc. The use of
Neighbor Cache in nd-09 is however 80-90% common to the use in RFC4861 so
the Neighbor Cache name should be kept and as a single cache. The
maintenance of entries in the nd-09 Neighbor Cache is based on address
registration with the lifetime set buy the host, thus the following text
will be added to clarify the difference in the terminology under
registration and in Section 5.5:
"Thus for 6LoWPAN the Neighbor Cache doesn't behave like a cache. Instead
it behaves as a registry of all the host addresses that are attached to
the Router."
