The purpose of DAD is not to detect MAC address duplication, but IP address duplication. If MAC addresses are the same, there are likely to be other problems besides IP operations in the LAN (e.g. I don't know for sure how switches operate). Perhaps this would speak for some form of applicability statement for DAD, to be clear what it is meant to solve and what it isn't. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
