Title: Neighbor Unreachability Detection is too impatient
Creation date: 2011-07-07
WG ID: Individual Submission
Number of pages: 7
Abstract:
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery includes Neighbor Unreachability Detection.
That function is very useful when a host has an alternative, for
instance multiple default routers, since it allows the host to switch
to the alternative in short time. This time is 3 seconds after the
node starts probing. However, if there are no alternatives, this is
far too impatient. This document proposes an approach where an
implementation can choose the timeout behavior to be different based
on whether or not there are alternatives.
