<t>This document specifies the Neighbor Discovery protocol for IP  Version 6.  IPv6 nodes on the same link use Neighbor Discovery to discover each other's presence, to determine each other's link-layer addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information about the paths to active neighbors.</t></abstract></front>
