* [ND] Sections 4.6.1, 4.6.3, and 8.3
* Packet generator
* Monitor to capture packets
The following setup procedure is performed before each Part:
a) Perform Common Setup 1.1.
b) TR2 transmits an Echo Request to the HUT's link-local address. TR2 responds to any
Neighbor Solicitations from the HUT with a Neighbor Advertisement with the solicited bit set to
1 causing the HUT to update it's NCE for TR2 to sate REACHABLE.
The Common Test Cleanup Procedure is performed after each part. The following table details the
Redirect message transmitted in each Part:
| IPv6 Destination Address |
TLLA Option |
Redirected Packet Option |

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 link-local address of TR2. 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 H, using the Redirect message detailed in the
table above in Step 3.
Parts C-D
Step 2:
The HUT should respond to the Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop.
Step 5:
The HUT should transmit a an Echo Reply to TN1 using TR2 as a first hop,
indicating the HUT processed the Redirect message.
* None.
