NAME

ncStateByRs4Incomplete - Verifying State Machine: Rs vs. INCOMPLETE

TARGET

  Router Only

SYNOPSIS

  ncStateByRs4Incomplete.seq [-tooloption ...] -p ncStateByRs4Incomplete.def

INITIALIZATION

Set the state of neighbor cache entry to INCOMPLETE.

  TN               NUT
  ----------------------

  State: NONCE (for TN)

  ==== echo-request ===>
        src=TN's link-local
        dst=NUT's link-local

  State: INCOMPLETE (for TN)

TEST PROCEDURE

ncStateByRs4Incomplete verifies that state transition for a NUT in INCOMPLETE state when receiving a RS.

  TN               NUT
  ----------------------


  State: INCOMPLETE (for TN)


  ==== RS ===>

REFERENCE

6.2.6.  Processing Router Solicitations


   Router Solicitations in which the Source Address is the unspecified
   address MUST NOT update the router's Neighbor Cache; solicitations
   with a proper source address update the Neighbor Cache as follows. If
   the router already has a Neighbor Cache entry for the solicitation's
   sender, the solicitation contains a Source Link-Layer Address option,
   and the received link-layer address differs from that already in the
   cache, the link-layer address SHOULD be updated in the appropriate
   Neighbor Cache entry, and its reachability state MUST also be set to
   STALE.  If there is no existing Neighbor Cache entry for the
   solicitation's sender, the router creates one, installs the link-
   layer address and sets its reachability state to STALE as specified
   in Section 7.3.3.  Whether or not a Source Link-Layer Address option
   is provided, if a Neighbor Cache entry for the solicitation's sender
   exists (or is created) the entry's IsRouter flag MUST be set to
   FALSE.
