RFC 4429: Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) for IPv6

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7527. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

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.
