35 The ndp dump on 'argon' shows expired entries, entries that are still
36 valid for the listed time, and permanent entries. As you can see, I can
37 use 'ferrum.local' to identify a particular machine and login. There is
38 also 'silver', which happens to be my smartphone. There is even an entry
39 'fd67:1111:2222::10' which represents a static IPv6 address I used for
40 testing earlier, with fd67:1111:2222 being my obfuscated ULA prefix.
41
42 IPv6 clients are chatting link-local without user intervention, to say
43 "I'm here" and to ask "Who is near me?". Routers actively advertise
44 their services. After a little while, clients start to get an idea of
45 their surroundings without an admin holding their hand. IPv6 is pretty
46 nifty in that regard.
