Hello,
Disclaimer: I am not fully caught up on this discussion. I hope that cellular hosts would be able to run DAD and ND whenever they need to. I would hope that the IETF would not approve a document that says "some" IPv6 hosts MUST NOT (or even SHOULD NOT!) implement DAD/ND. This would be a problem, if for instance some operators would then use it to DISALLOW IPv6 addressable devices from running those protocols. They could claim non-conformance to RFC nnnn! I reckon that it would be better to determine certain conditions under which an IPv6 node would experience better performance by not running those protocols, but still to expect the protocols to be part of the IPv6 node implementation. My own interest lies in having the ability for some 3G device to serve as a router for personal devices that I may carry with me. I'd also like for those devices to be autoconfigurable, and to find the 3G router by using standard techniques. All of this could be done so that my devices would share the same prefix as my 3G router device. Why not? Again, please excuse if this is all duplication of previous discussion.
