Answer
  • Spirent TestCenter will only retry addresses that failed.
  • In the attached pcap there are 1000 addresses that need resolution
    • fe80::210:94ff:fe00:1 - fe80::210:94ff:fe00:3e8
    • Use filter:  icmpv6.nd.ns.target_address == 3001:0:0:1::1
    • Initial Neighbor Solicitations for 1000 addresses
      • packets 1 to 5322
    • First retry is for 284 addresses
      • packets 7444 to 8867
    • Second retry for 1 address
      • packet 9625
