[ipv6hackers] DAD and Link-Local

[daniel.bartram at bt.com]

All,

After some advice...

Aware that DAD is performed on link-local as well as global addresses to ensure uniqueness, but if the link-local is a randomly generated value, or even the IID for that matter, on a P2P link using only link-local addresses, what are the chances of those addresses ever matching? In which case, can DAD be disabled?
