Rich,
Maybe I misunderstand the issue, but it seems obvious that a node MUST
accept the NA. If it doesn't accept the NA, DAD won't work. I.e., you
rely on someone else returning an NA to indicate that the tentative
address is in use. If you discard it without processing it, the DAD
code won't see it either. What am I missing?
I think you do point out that the wording isn't perfect though. I.e.,
it should say, something like "accept packets whose IP destination
address is a tentative address".
I.e., the idea is that you accept/process NA/ND packets addressed to
tentative addresses, but silently discard all other packets addressed
to the tentative address.
