Test v6LC.2.3.9 - No Destination Cache Entry (Hosts Only)
Verify that a host properly processes a Redirect message when there is no entry for the
destination in the host's Destination Cache.
* [ND] Sections 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.
1. 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 option with the link-layer address of TR2.
2. TR1 forwards an Echo Request from TN1 to the HUT. The IPv6 Source Address is the off-link
global address of TN1. The IPv6 Destination Address is the global address of the HUT.
3. Observe the packets transmitted by the HUT.
Step 3:
The HUT should respond to the Echo Request using TR2 as the first-hop, indicating the HUT
processed the Redirect message and created a Destination Cache entry.
* None.
