Re: ND and NBMA ?

Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861

1. Introduction
 Unless specified otherwise (in a document that covers operating IP
   over a particular link type) this document applies to all link types.
   However, because ND uses link-layer multicast for some of its
   services, it is possible that on some link types (e.g., Non-Broadcast
   Multi-Access (NBMA) links), alternative protocols or mechanisms to
   implement those services will be specified (in the appropriate
   document covering the operation of IP over a particular link type).
   The services described in this document that are not directly
   dependent on multicast, such as Redirects, Next-hop determination,
   Neighbor Unreachability Detection, etc., are expected to be provided
   as specified in this document. The details of how one uses ND on
   NBMA links are addressed in [IPv6-NBMA].

[IPv6-NBMA] Armitage, G., Schulter, P., Jork, M., and G. Harter,
                "IPv6 over Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA)
                networks", RFC 2491, January 1999.
