  all previous NCE's are in state No NCE. The Common Test Cleanup Procedure is performed after each
  part. The following table details the Redirect message transmitted in each Part:

   Step 6:
   Because the HUT's NCE for TR2 is in state STALE, the HUT should send an Echo
   Reply to TR2 using the new Link-Layer address and enter state DELAY. After
   DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME, the HUT should send a unicast Neighbor Solicitation to
   TR2.
