SETUP

This minimal setup procedure provides the NUT with a default router TR1, a global prefix, and ensures that the NUT can communicate with TR1.

   TR1     NUT

    =========
    if NUT is a host
    |       |

    |       |
    *       | Wait (MAX_RTR_SOLICITATION_DELAY + RetransTimer * DupAddrDetectTransmits)
    |       |
    if NUT is a router
    |       |
    |       * configure a default route with TR1 as the next hop

TEST PROCEDURE

- Verify that a host properly processes the Cur Hop Limit field of a Router Advertisement.

1. Send Echo Request

IPv6 header source = TN1 (link-local) destination = NUT (link-local) Echo Request

2. Observe NS

5. Send RA

6. Send Echo Request

IPv6 header source = TN1 (link-local) destination = NUT (link-local) Echo Request

7. Observe Echo Reply

JUDGEMENT

[Judgment #1] The NUT should respond to the Request from TN1. Observe the Hop Limit value in the Echo Reply packet the NUT transmits.
[Judgment #2] The NUT should respond to the Request from TN1. The Hop Limit value in the Echo Reply should be the same as was used in step 2.

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.
