In your previous mail you wrote: My question is whether the node in the process of DAD can send the packets other than Neighbor Solicitations for the purpose of DAD. => it can (it should for instance send some MLD joins) but it must not use the tentative address (i.e. MLD joins should get the unspecified address as the source address, same thing for router solicitations).
RFC2462 says that the tentative address cannot be assigned to the interface. So I think the node cannot send packets before completing DAD. Is this interpretation correct? => modulo some exceptions for some ICMPv6 packets which can use the :: source, this is 100% true.
