From adc176c5472214971d77c1a61c83db9b01e9cdc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Nordmark Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 14:00:08 -0800 Subject: ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527) Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD. IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored. RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.
