Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection is an interoperable modification
of the existing IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (RFC 2461) and Stateless Address 
Autoconfiguration (RFC 2462) processes.  The intention is to minimize 
address configuration delays in the successful case, to reduce disruption 
as far as possible in the failure case, and to remain interoperable
with unmodified hosts and routers.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
