Title: Recommendations to achieve efficient Router Reachability Detection in IPv6 networks
State: Active
Authors: Sathya Narayanan

Detecting Network Attachment (DNA) requires the rapid detection of link
identity and validation of the current IP configuration [3]. Even though
acquiring the configuration for a new link is outside the scope of DNA,
mechanisms that can accomplish both DNA and collect possible configuration
information about the current link will prove to be very useful in rapidly
changing network environments. RFC 2461 defines a Router Discovery (RD)
procedure [1] to learn about the available access routers on an L3 link.
RFC 2461 [1] also defines Neighbor Discovery (ND) procedure to discover
neighbors in the same link. This draft recommends a few simple
modifications to the Router Discovery (RD) procedure defined by RFC 2461
enabling the quick learning of other available routers if the current
router is not available.
