NDP should have been better designed. It still has the same problems we had with ARP except the address pool has magnified it. Routers should have 1) better methods for keeping ND tables low (and maintaining only valid entries) or 2) better methods for learning valid entries than unsolicited NDP requests. This isn't to say the protocol itself is a waste, but it should have taken in the concerns and developed the mitigation controls necessary as recommendations to the implementers. Jack
