9.3.1 Neighbor discovery<br />

Neighbor discovery is an ICMPv6 function that enables a node to identify other<br />

hosts <strong>and</strong> routers on its links. The node needs to know of at least one router so<br />

that it knows where to forward packets if a target node is not on its local link.<br />

Neighbor discovery also allows a router to redirect a node to use a more<br />

appropriate router if the node has initially made an incorrect choice.<br />
