IPv6 Neighbor Discovery

There is no ARP in IPv6.  Instead it uses ICMPv6 for Neighbor Discovery via the Neighbor Discovery Protocol. Please watch the following video and document everything in your blog.

Answer the following questions:

  • What is the "host autoconfiguration"?
  • Which ICMPv6 types are used for neighbor discovery?
  • What is a "tentative address" and what is it used for?
  • Which kind of IPv6-address is "FF02::1"?
  • Which steps are necessary before two hosts can exchange messages? 

Neighbor dicovery:
It's a Protocol in IPv6. It's responsible for the exchange of link-local messages.
It's also being used to determine IPv6-addresses into Link-Layer-Addresses (MAC).


  1. eine LinkLocal Adresse wird ohne DHCP errichtet.
  2. 135 und 136
  3. Ist eine LinkLocal Adresse die einzigartig ist (meistens von Mac Adresse abhängig). Sie wird zur Kommunikation ohne Autorouting verwendet (z.B.: zwischen 2 Hosts)
  4. Multicast
