Abstract

   This memo describes extensions to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery that
   allow a node to determine and advertise an IPv6 address corresponding
   to a given link-layer address.  These extensions are called Inverse
   Neighbor Discovery.  The Inverse Neighbor Discovery (IND) was
   originally developed for Frame Relay networks, but may also apply to
   other networks with similar behavior.
