RFC 9131
Title: Gratuitous Neighbor Discovery: Creating Neighbor
Cache Entries on First-Hop Routers
Author: J. Linkova
Status: Standards Track
Stream: IETF
Date: October 2021
Mailbox: [email protected]
Pages: 20
Updates: RFC 4861
I-D Tag: draft-ietf-6man-grand-07.txt
URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9131
DOI: 10.17487/RFC9131
Neighbor Discovery (RFC 4861) is used by IPv6 nodes to determine the
link-layer addresses of neighboring nodes as well as to discover and
maintain reachability information. This document updates RFC 4861 to
allow routers to proactively create a Neighbor Cache entry when a new
IPv6 address is assigned to a node. It also updates RFC 4861 and
recommends that nodes send unsolicited Neighbor Advertisements upon
assigning a new IPv6 address. These changes will minimize the delay
and packet loss when a node initiates connections to an off-link
destination from a new IPv6 address.
This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
