document defines two distinct formats for the ND and IND messages document defines two distinct formats for the ND and IND messages
Link-Layer Address field: Link-Layer Address field:
(a) DLCI Format -- used in ND and/or IND messages on VCs that were (a) DLCI Format -- used in ND and/or IND messages on VCs that were
established prior to the ND or IND message exchange -- mostly established prior to the ND or IND message exchange -- mostly
PVCs. The use on SVCs makes sense with Inverse Neighbor PVCs. The use on SVCs makes sense with Inverse Neighbor
Discovery [IND] messages if IND is employed after the successful Discovery [IND] messages if IND is employed after the successful
establishing of an SVC to gather information about other IPv6 establishing of an SVC to gather information about other IPv6
addresses assigned to the remote node and that SVC. addresses assigned to the remote node and that SVC.
The use of the override "O" bit [ND] SHOULD be consistent with
the type of Link-Layer Address format: an implementation should
override one address format in its cache with the same type of
address format. The "O" bit SHOULD be clear in the Neighbor
Discovery Advertisement message containing such a Link-Layer
Address format in case the sender of the message does not wish
the recipient to override existing information in its cache[ND].
(b) Frame Relay Address Format -- used mostly prior to establishing (b) Frame Relay Address Format -- used mostly prior to establishing
a new SVC, to get the Frame Relay remote node identifier a new SVC, to get the Frame Relay remote node identifier
(link-layer address) mapping to a certain IPv6 address. (link-layer address) mapping to a certain IPv6 address.
The override "O" bit in the Neighbor Discovery Advertisement Note: An implementation may hold both types of link layer
message MAY be set to 1, in order to allow refreshing a cache identifiers in the Neighbor Discovery cache. Additionally, in case
entry which maps an IPv6 address to an E.164, X.121, or NSAP of multiple VCs between two nodes, one node's Neighbor Discovery
address. cache may hold a mapping of one of the remote node's IPv6
addresses to each and every DLCI identifying the VCs.
The mechanisms which in such an implementation would make the
distinction between the Neighbor Discovery Cache mapping of an
IPv6 address to a "Frame Relay Address Format" and a "DLCI Format"
link-layer address, or among several mappings to a "DLCI Format"
addresses are beyond the scope of this specification.
The use of the override "O" bit in the advertisement messages that
contain the above Link-Layer Address formats SHOULD be consistent
with the [ND] specifications. Additionally, there should be
consistency related to the type of Link-Layer Address format: an
implementation should override one address format in its Neighbor
Discovery cache with the same type of address format.
The "DLCI Format" is defined as follows: The "DLCI Format" is defined as follows:
