I have read in a book that as soon as a host enters a network, it sends out the Router Solicitation so that it can build up its router list. Does all the hosts behave like that in a network? Are there any cases where a host enters a network and waits for unsolicited Router Advertisement instead of sending out a router Solicitation to learn about router and configure itself?(in ipv6)
‘Depends on the host’… They probably will send out Router Solicitations, but they could just wait for a Router Advertisement to come by. The most common operating systems like Windows, Mac OS and Linux will send them.
