But, this is exactly the normal situation. The prefix, that is announced in RA, is one the global prefixes for link. I assume global addresses are in the DNS. It can be just situation that router was temporarily down and then came online/reachable again. At least in our system, application can connect to an global address, but if there is no route, the connect can be on hold for a while in wait for router advertisement. If such arrives, onlink route for the prefix is intalled, and immediately also the connections are activated (SYN packets sent causing the Neighbor solitications for the destionations). Now, if the other hosts are delaying their replies, I may get unreachable... perhaps not a big deal, but still not pretty either. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
