Hello Gene:

The intention in the TID is to sequence the mobility of the target address 
exposed in NS(EARO). NA (EARO) is supposed to respond unicast to the NS(EARO), 
or be used as an asynchronous response to that NS. IOW, this broadcast NA about 
target=self is new, and the fields have no specified meaning / behavior.

Certainly the expectation is that the TID field would still contain a TID 
associated with the target address, and I'll be happy to write that if you have 
a case. I did not see one so I just applied the "reserved" behaviour.

Is it your intention that the TID is the same as in NA(EARO) and reflects a 
counter that the router maintains for its LLA?

All the best;

Pascal
