TEST PROCEDURE

Verify that a host properly updates the IsRouter flag in its Neighbor Cache upon receipt of a Router Advertisement.

1. Send RA

        IPv6 header
            hop limit          = 255
            source             = TR1 (link-local)
            destination        = all-nodes multicast address
        RA

            router lifetime    = 1800
            reachable time     = 0
            retrans timer      = 0
        SLL option

2.  Wait (MAX_RTR_SOLICITATION_DELAY + RetransTimer * DupAddrDetectTransmits)

        Host constants:
            MAX_RTR_SOLICITATION_DELAY: 1 second

        Node constants:
            RETRANS_TIMER             : 1,000 milliseconds

        Host Variables:
            RetransTimer
                Default               : RETRANS_TIMER milliseconds

        Node Variables:
            DupAddrDetectTransmits
                Default               : 1

3. Send Echo Request

        IPv6 header
            source      = TN2 (global)
            destination = HUT (link-local)
        Echo Request

4. Observe Echo Reply

        IPv6 header
            source      = HUT (link-local)
            destination = TN2 (global)
        Echo Reply

JUDGEMENT

[Judgment #1] After receiving the Echo Request from TR1, the HUT should send an Echo Reply using the received Global Address.

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.
