ABSTRACT

A default router. The default setting for the hop limit field in the IPv6 header. The timers used in Neighbor Discovery processes. The maximum transfer unit (MTU) of the local link. The list of network prefixes that are defined for the link. Each network prefix contains both the IPv6 network prefix and its valid and preferred lifetimes. If indicated, a network prefix is combined with the interface identifier to create a stateless IPv6 address configuration for the receiving interface. A network prefix also defines the range of addresses for nodes on the local link. 6to4 addresses on a 6to4 tunneling interface for all public IPv4 addresses that are assigned to the computer (some implementations); see Chapter 6 for details of the 6to4 mechanism. Intrasite Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) addresses on an automatic interface for all IPv4 addresses that are assigned to the computer (some implementations); see Chapter 6 for details of the ISATAP mechanism. The stack to query for IPv6 ISATAP routers in an IPv4 environment (some implementations). Routes to off-link prefixes if the off-link address prefix is advertised by a router (some implementations).
