Parts A through D: Destination Addresses, TLLA Options, and Redirected Packet Options
1. TR1 forwards an Echo Request to the HUT. The Source Address is the off-link global address of
TN1. The Destination Address is the global address of the HUT.
2. Observe the packets transmitted by the HUT.
3. TR1 transmits a Redirect message to the HUT. The ICMPv6 Destination Address is the global
address of TN1. The Target Address is the off-link global address of TN1. The Redirect
message contains a Target Link-layer Address option or Redirected Packet option according to
the table above.
4. TR1 forwards an Echo Request to the HUT. The Source Address is the off-link global address of
TN1. The Destination Address is the global address of the HUT.
5. Observe the packets transmitted by the HUT.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for each Part B through D, using the Redirect message detailed in the
table above in Step 3.
Parts C and D
Step 2:
The HUT should respond to the Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop.
Step 5:
The HUT should transmit an Echo Reply directly on-link to TN1, indicating the HUT
