Sorry Brian I miss your point. The discussion here is to find a way for the node to autoconf an address and then notice the router(s) proactively so the ND NCE is ready when the first packet comes from the outside for this node.
I agree wholeheartedly with Jen’s requirement. I agree less with the idea of overstretching ND as it stands to achieve this, for reasons I gave already. So prepopulate the NCE, yes, but do it right with protocol elements that guarantee a state that is accurate, secure, and persistent for a committed lifetime, not with yet another patch to the old structure. I’m interested to have a parallel discussion on where RFC 8505 can not apply. In the products and use cases I’m aware of, it could, since we are actually faking it by snooping ND and DHCP to achieve similar but less accurate results.
