Hi, Yao.
Here are the answers.
1)
You can't choose multiple Linux for counterpart devices.
All Linux is considered as the same implementation
by the rule of IPv6 Ready Logo Program.
Only one Linux can appear in counterpart devices.
2)
A router must have capability of forwarding IP packet.
In some test scenarios,
a router must send RA and must control RA parameters.
And a router must send Redirect and Packet Too Big.
And of course sending NA contains R=1.
Maybe there are more points needed by router behavior.
Anyway, a router is the router.
And a router can have multiple network interfaces
even the topology in scenario requires just one interface.
The number of interfaces is
just differences of verification point at the scenario.
Thanks,
