Hello I have got some basic questions regarding the need to perform DAD and a confirmation would be appreciated
Obviously DAD is performed to check the uniqueness of the auto-configured data, but since the auto-configured address is formed by appending the prefix advertised by RA with the MAC address of the interface, and since MAC addresses are globally unique then why perfom DAD? For example when a MN moves to a visit net, then if for example if the MAC address is AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF and the advertised prefix was 2001:001b::1/64 then the newly autoconfigured address would be 2001:001b:0:1:AABB:CCFF:FEDD:EEFF. Am I correct? If i am then under what circumstances can this address have a conflict with any other node on the new link as the MAC address is globally unique??? A reply is eagerly awaited ZFaqeer _________________________________________________________________ Local listings, incredible imagery, and driving directions - all in one place!
