   9. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 from Part A. Router Advertisement A has an invalid ICMP checksum,
      but is otherwise valid.

Observable Results

  Parts C-F
   The HUT should ignore the invalid Router Advertisement and continue to transmit Router
   Solicitations. The Router Solicitations should be sent from either the link-local address of the
   HUT or the unspecified address. The destination address should be the All-Routers multicast
   address. The Router Solicitations may or may not include a Source Link-layer Address
   option.

Possible Problems

  * None.
