Hi,
Does someone know if there is a tool for linux which can send a neighbor advertisement for a fast update of the neighbor table of a router? Like to good old "arping -U" for ipv4 which sends gratuitous/unsolicited arp messages...
# apt-get install ndisc6
Description: IPv6 diagnostic tools ndisc6 gathers a few diagnostic tools for IPv6 networks including: - ndisc6, which performs ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery in userland, - rdisc6, which performs ICMPv6 Router Discovery in userland, - rltraceroute6, a UDP/ICMP IPv6 implementation of traceroute, - tcptraceroute6, a TCP/IPv6-based traceroute implementation, - tcpspray6, a TCP/IP Discard/Echo bandwidth meter, - addrinfo, easy script interface for hostname and address resolution, - dnssort, DNS sorting script.
On various BSDs and Solaris platforms and other such unices you will find separate ndsol (client) and ndsold (daemon) too btw.
