Ideally one should not recieve packets destined to tentative address
as it is not yet assigned to the interface i.e your machine should
not pick packets for the tentative address.
I have a different question in the same context. Assume two nodes
node A and node B on the same link. If node A (malicious) does
not do *DAD* and sends out a packet with node B's address as source
address to B, B should drop the packet. But this is not mentioned
in the spec anywhere. It assumes that both nodes A and B does
DAD. If node B does not drop the packet, it could potentially
create a neighbor cache entry with node A's source address
which is itself, with node A's h/w address information.
Does the spec say anything on the above ?
