My apologies if this has been discussed before.

Section 6.4.1 states "For each IPv6 address associated with the Virtual
Router, send an unsolicited ND Neighbor Advertisement with the Router Flag
(R) set, the Solicited Flag (S) unset, the Override flag (O) set, the Target
Address set to the IPv6 link-local address of the Virtual Router, and the
Target Link Layer address set to the virtual router MAC address."

I was expecting the Target Address to be set to the IPv6 address of that is
being advertised, not to the link-local address of the Virtual Router only.


Section 6.4.2 states "Send an unsolicited ND Neighbor Advertisement with the
Router Flag (R) set, the Solicited Flag (S) unset, the Override flag (O)
set, the Target Address set to the IPv6 link-local address of the Virtual
Router, and the Target Link Layer address set to the virtual router MAC
address."

Is only one unsolicited Neighbor Advertisement sent (for the link-local
address of the Virtual Router)?  Don't we need to send one for every address
associated with the Virtual Router as in Section 6.4.1?


Thanks,
Georges Chung
