States
- Incomplete — Address Resolution is in process. The neighbor has not yet responded.
- Reachable — Neighbor is known to be reachable.
- Stale — Previously-known neighbor is no longer reachable. No action is taken to verify its reachability until traffic must be sent.
- Delay — Previously-known neighbor is no longer reachable. The interface is in Delay state for a predefined Delay Time. If no reachability confirmation is received, the state changes to Probe.
- Probe — Neighbor is no longer known to be reachable and Unicast Neighbor Solicitation probes are being sent to verify reachability.

global unicast address or GUA
http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_IPv6GlobalUnicastAddressFormat-2.htm
The part of the IPv6 address space set aside for unicast addresses is structured into an address format that uses the first 48 bits for the routing prefix (like a network ID), the next 16 bits for a subnet ID, and the final 64 bits for an interface ID (like a host ID).
