That ND extensively, without any valid reason to do so, use
multicast, which is not acknowledged at WLAN L2, means IPv6
or its ND is unreliable over congested WLAN. If multicast
ND packet is lost by congestion, it is not retransmitted by L2.
=> Masataka san, your argument is right (I saw 40% lost rate
on multicast over IEEE 802.11b) but it applies to IPv4 (ARP
uses broadcast) too...
Yes, it does, but not so badly.
ARP actually use broadcast for request but not for reply.
Moreover, ARP request from terminals to base stations, which
are often routers, are unicast at lower L2.
So, over WLAN, ARP works a lot better than ND. It should
also be noted that, with IPv4, it is natural to have link
specific adaptation mechanism for each different link type
that it is perfectly fine to have IP over WLAN which is
different from IP over Ether.
On the other hand, ND, an attempt to have a universal
adaptation mechanism ignoring link specific properties,
which contradicts with the very basic reason to have
"adaptation", is a total failure.
It should be noted that MIPv6 is hopelessly tainted by ND.
