5.1 Node Configuration Variables

The number of consecutive Neighbor Solicitation messages sent while performing Duplicate Address Detection on a tentative address is called DupAddrDetectTransmits .
If we want the Node  to be configured by the system management we MUST  allow the DupAddrDetectTransmits autoconfiguration-related variable for each multicast interface..

If it is zero than it means  that Duplicate Address Detection is not performed on tentative addresses. if it equal  one than it  indicates a single transmission with no follow up retransmissions.
The default value is  1.

The variable RetransTimer pecifies the delay between consecutive Neighbor Solicitation transmissions performed during Duplicate Address Detection (if DupAddrDetectTransmits is greater than 1), as well as the time a node waits after sending the last Neighbor Solicitation before ending the Duplicate Address Detection process.
