Part A: Neighbor Solicitation Origination, Target Address Being Link-local
1. If the NUT is a host, perform Common Test Setup 1.1 with a Retransmit Interval value of 1
second. If the NUT is a router, configure the Retransmit Interval value to 1 second.
2. TN1 transmits Packet A. The source address is TN1's link-local address and the destination
address is the NUT's link-local address.
3. Observe the packets transmitted by the NUT. TN1 doesn't send any Neighbor Advertisement.
4. (Phase-2 Only) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with a Retransmit Interval value of 5 seconds and observe
the packets transmitted by the NUT.
Part A
Step 3:
In response to Packet A, the NUT should transmit Neighbor Solicitations with a
Target Address equal to the TN1's Link-local Address at intervals of 1 second. The NUT
MUST transmit no more than 1 Neighbor Solicitation every 1 second. Each Neighbor
Solicitation MUST have a Source Link-Layer Address Option. The maximum number of
Neighbor Solicitations should be MAX_MULTICAST_SOLICIT, which should be 3.
Step 4 (Phase-2 Only):
The NUT should transmit the Neighbor Solicitations with a Target
Address equal to the TN1's Link-local Address at intervals of 5 seconds. The NUT MUST
transmit no more than 1 Neighbor Solicitation every 5 seconds. Each Neighbor Solicitation
MUST have a Source Link-Layer Address Option. The maximum number of Neighbor
Solicitations should be MAX_MULTICAST_SOLICIT, which should be 3.
* None.
