Thank you Yukiyo. I accept this reasoning. I didn't realize 1.5 tested
RFC 4861. Where can I find a list of RFCs tested by this version of the
suite?
Best Regards,
Tammy Leino

Host Test
Hi, Tammy.
This test is to verify on-link determination described at RFC 4861
Section 6.3.4.
3074
Similarly,
3075 [ADDRCONF] may impose certain restrictions on the prefix
length for
3076 address configuration purposes. Therefore, the prefix might
be
3077 rejected by [ADDRCONF] implementation in the host. However,
the
3087 prefix length is still valid for on-link determination when
combined
3088 with other flags in the prefix option.
So, it is invalid in ADDRCONF, but it is valid in ND.

although 96 plus the length of the Ethernet interface ID is longer than
128. From the RFC explanation, I believe this test is operating
incorrectly.
