> The document "IPv6 over Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA)
> networks" provides a framework for how to run IPv6 over NBMA
> link types (e.g., ATM, Frame Relay, etc.). It provides a basis for
> companion documents (e.g., "IPv6 over ATM Networks") to define
> specific items that are by their nature link-layer specific. The
> first document also defines how a client can use use Neighbor
> Discovery to request NBMA shortcuts (i.e., to initiate NHRP
> services). The MARS model is assumed,  allowing Neighbor
> Discovery to be used (Neighbor Discovery assumes multicast is
> available on a specific link-layer.) The two documents together
> define how to run IPv6 over ATM networks for both SVCs and PVCs.
