Re: ndp

the netbsd router is connected to a nexus 7k. I am using a port-channel 
with diffent vlans. the ipv6 routing point for the vlans is the netbsd 
box.

The MAC address table on each nexus line card supports 128,000 MAC 
addresses. Our nexus currently knows over 10.000 MAC Adresses.

If I now increase the number of vlan (and routing points) at the ipv6 
router, the ndp table will increase over 4k over 8k and maybe over 16k 
(because each node has a link-local and a global address, windows nodes 
and ipv6 address-privacy). So I need to know the korrekt size of the ndp 
table.
