Is there something specific you have in mind here? Perhaps I was a bit unclear about this. What I mean, is that in the act= ive-backup mode, the method of finding whether or not a link is active,= is to send an ARP request to some machine, in my case, the gateway. Th= is won't work with an IPv6-only configuration, since there's no ARP the= re, only ND. For active-backup mode to work in IPv6, there needs to be = added an ND mode, replacing or supplementing ARP.
