The 2 drafts above are to be considered jointly with RFC2022 (Multicast 
Address Resolution Server, MARS).

As ARP is replaced by Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), CLIP cannot be used 
with IPv6 anymore.

MARS is then supposed to forward NS requests to the members of the cluster 
(mapped with the LL) forming the multicast group derived from the IPv6 
address to resolve.

Therefore, I think MARS and MARS clients have to be implemented anyway to 
enable IPv6/ATM.

Regards,

Mohsen.

P.S. Implementing MARS and MARS clients (NetBSD/FreeBSD Unix platform) is 
what I'm currently doing and that's not so obvious :-)
