+:rfc:`4862`. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected
+to an IPv6 network using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol via :abbr:`ICMPv6
+(Internet Control Message Protocol version 6)` router discovery messages.
+When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router
+solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers
+respond to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains
+Internet Layer configuration parameters.
