IPv6 - ND

R

rishabh

Hi folks,

I have been reading the IPv6 code base in FreeBSD's latest release and I have got some doubts.
1. Can we disable Neighbor discovery in IPv6 stack? If yes, what type of ICMPv6 messages would be disabled by it? by disabling I mean, only ND and not the whole ipv6 support on an interface ...
2. I am trying to create a userland application where I get an event from the kernel that the particular IPv6 address is duplicate both for link-local / global, any pointers?

thanks

No, that would break the entire protocol. It would be like disabling ARP on IPv4.

Like I said, it would be similar to removing ARP from IPv4.
