Packet-Loss Resiliency for Router Solicitations
RFC 7559, “Packet-Loss Resiliency for Router Solicitations”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2015 by S. Krishnan, D. Anipko, D. Thaler. It updates RFC 4861. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
When an interface on a host is initialized, the host transmits Router Solicitations in order to minimize the amount of time it needs to wait until the next unsolicited multicast Router Advertisement is received. In certain scenarios, these Router Solicitations transmitted by the host might be lost. This document specifies a mechanism for hosts to cope with the loss of the initial Router Solicitations.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
