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.

4. Send Redirect

            source      = HUT (global)
            destination = TN1 (global)
        Echo Reply

JUDGEMENT

[Judgment #1] The HUT should respond to the first Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop.
[Judgment #2] The HUT should also respond to the second Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop, indicating the HUT did not process the invalid Redirect message.

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.
