Hi,
This is regarding sending router advertisement on the receipt of router solicitation.

When an icmp message of type router solicitation is received in the icmp6_input(). the 
function calls nd6_rs_input(). This function inturn calls nd6_cach_lladdr().

But no where in the above code rtadv related functions are called. AS all know rtadv 
is implemented as a daemon. But this daemon sends router advertisements periodically. 
If a host wants address prefixes immediately  it sends router solicitaion to the 
router. But in the above case no router advertisement related things are called 
immediately.( the rfc 2462 mentions that if a host needs prefixes immmediately it has 
to send router soliciations).

Kindly mail if iam right. 
If iam wrong can anybody mail  the full sequence of events in freebsd for the above 
case.

regards
ravi prasad
