<abstract>
<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&apos;s presence, to determine each other&apos;s link-layer
   addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information
   about the paths to active neighbors.
