About

A little overview of yanic in connection with other software:

How respondd works

It sends the gluon-neighbour-info request and collects the answers.

It will send UDP packets with multicast address ff05:0:0:0:0:0:2:1001 and port 1001.

If a node does not answer, it will request with the last know address under the port 1001.
