actually DAD has a redundant processing, because it is far more likely to succeed than fail. as "Optimistic DAD" "....where the collision probability is likely to be much higher due to human error. "
Daniel -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Siva Veerepalli Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2002 8:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DAD for stateful address autoconfig The IPv6 Stateless Address autoconfiguration RFC states that address obtained via stateful address autoconfig should be tested for uniqueness. For stateful address config, since state is maintained it is unlikely that the same address would be assigned to two different interfaces. Isn't it? Why then is DAD required when an address is obtained via stateful address autoconfig?
