-accept_untracked_na - BOOLEAN
- Add a new neighbour cache entry in STALE state for routers on receiving a
- neighbour advertisement (either solicited or unsolicited) with target
- link-layer address option specified if no neighbour entry is already
- present for the advertised IPv6 address. Without this knob, NAs received
- for untracked addresses (absent in neighbour cache) are silently ignored.
-
- This is as per router-side behaviour documented in RFC9131.
-
- This has lower precedence than drop_unsolicited_na.
-
- This will optimize the return path for the initial off-link communication
- that is initiated by a directly connected host, by ensuring that
- the first-hop router which turns on this setting doesn't have to
- buffer the initial return packets to do neighbour-solicitation.
- The prerequisite is that the host is configured to send
- unsolicited neighbour advertisements on interface bringup.
- This setting should be used in conjunction with the ndisc_notify setting
- on the host to satisfy this prerequisite.
-
- By default this is turned off.
