	Title		: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Extensions for 
                          Inverse Discovery Specification

This memo describes a mechanism that can be seen as an  extension  to
   the  IPv6  Neighbor  Discovery.  It  allows  a node to solicit and be
   advertized an  IPv6  address  corresponding  to  a  given  link-layer
   address.  Because  the known parameter is the link layer address, the
   mechanism is called  Inverse  Neighbor  Discovery.   It  specifically
   applies  to  Frame  Relay  nodes that may have a Data Link Connection
   Identifier  (DLCI),  the  Frame  Relay  equivalent  of  a  link-layer
   address,  associated  with  an  established Permanent Virtual Circuit
   (PVC), but do not know the IPv6 address of the node at the other  end
   of  the  circuit.   It  may also apply to other networks with similar
   behavior.

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
