IPv6 neighbor function
Redirect message
State
Description
Routers send this message
to inform hosts of a better first
hop for a destination.
Description
A node sends a neighbor solicitation
message to a multicast device. The multicast
device sends no neighbor advertisement
message in response.
You receive positive confirmation within the
last reachable time period.
A node receives no positive confirmation
from the neighbor in the last reachable time
period.
A time period longer than the reachable time
period passes since the node received the
last positive confirmation, and a packet was
sent within the last
DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME period. If no
reachability confirmation is received within
DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME period of
entering the DELAY state, neighbor
solicitation is sent and the state is changed
to PROBE.
Reachability confirmation is sought from the
device every retransmit timer period.
