TEST PROCEDURE

Verify that a host properly updates its Neighbor Cache upon receipt of a Router Advertisement.

1. Send Echo Request

        IPv6 header
            source      = TR1 (link-local)
            destination = HUT (link-local)
        Echo Request

2. Observe NS

        IPv6 header
            hop limit   = 255
            source      = RUT (link-local)
            destination = TR1 (solicited-node multicast address)
        NS
            target      = TR1 (link-local)
        SLL option

3. Send RA

        IPv6 header
            hop limit          = 255
            source             = TR1 (link-local)
            destination        = all-nodes multicast address
        RA
            cur hop limit      = 64
            M                  = 0
            O                  = 0
            router lifetime    = 0
            reachable time     = 10000
            retrans timer      = 1000
        SLL option

4. Observe Echo Reply

        IPv6 header
            source      = HUT (link-local)
            destination = TR1 (link-local)
        Echo Reply

5. Wait (DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME)

        Node constants:
            DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME: 5 seconds

6. Observe MAX_UNICAST_SOLICIT NSs

        IPv6 header
            hop limit   = 255
            source      = HUT (link-local)
            destination = TR1 (link-local)
        NS
            target      = TR1 (link-local)
        SLL option

        Node constants:
            MAX_UNICAST_SOLICIT: 3 transmissions

JUDGEMENT

[Judgment #1] The HUT should create a Neighbor Cache Entry for TR1 and set the state of the Entry to INCOMPLETE. The HUT should send a multicast Neighbor Solicitation to TR1.
[Judgment #2] The HUT must update the state of TR1's NCE to STALE and update its Link-layer Address. Because the HUT's NCE for TR1 is in state STALE, the HUT should send an Echo Reply to TR1's earlier request using the received Link-Layer address and enter state DELAY.
[Judgment #3] After DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME, the HUT should send a unicast Neighbor Solicitation to TR1.

CLEANUP

The Cleanup procedure should cause the NUT to transition Neighbor Cache entries created in this test to state INCOMPLETE and remove any entries from its Default Router and Prefix Lists.
