No, that list is just a starting point for the discussion. A lot of stuff in the list doesn't amount to anything. (For instance, there is no ARP in IPv6.)
Yeah, ARP is basically one machine yelling "Who has this IP?" and another
one answering "ME!! ME!!". In IPv6, there's something called "Neighbor
Discovery" where one machine yells "Who has this address?" and another one
yells back "ME!! ME!!". Totally different things :)
The base functionality is obviously the same. It's implemented quite differently, though.
(Note that they both do the exact same thing to make sure the correct machine is yelling "ME!! ME!!"....)
Really? So ARP uses SEND? ( http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/OLD/send-charter.html )
(Although living in a hostile subnet isn't something I would recommend in the first place. Being on the same link opens way too many additional attack vectors.)
