RE: Optimistic DAD _again!_

["Soliman Hesham" <H.Soliman at flarion.com>]

Nick, 

I think optimistic DAD is a very useful (and essential)
tool for mobile nodes in multiaccess links (e.g. WLANs) since 
it eliminates a major delay component. So I'd support this 
draft for a std track RFC. 

I'm also surprised that this work is not addressed in DNA
as I thought it'd be in the heart of the DNA charter. But
regardless, it needs to be done if we want MIPv6 to be useful
in WLANs.
