Verizon LTE 3GPP Band13 NetworkAccess
This section discusses features related to Verizon Wireless Requirement Plan LTE_3GPP_Band13_NetworkAccess (plan id LTEB13NAC).
IPv6 Address Lifetime (VZ_REQ_LTEB13NAC_6378)
Requirement VZ_REQ_LTEB13NAC_6378 is a slight modification of specifications RFC 4861, Neighbor Discovery for IPv6, and RFC 4862, IPv6 Stateless Address Auto-configuration. Router Lifetime and Valid Lifetime are merged when a host interprets the Prefix Option of a Router Advertisement message. Hosts are expected to play a more active roll in refreshing IPv6 addresses by sending a Router Solicitation message before the address lifetime expires.
If an application fails to configure this option for an applicable device, packet communication over the network may be interrupted, depending on how generous the LTE router is with sending unsolicited Router Advertisement messages.
To compile this option, uncomment the following compile time macro in your trsystem.h.
#define TM_VZ_REQ_LTEB13NAC_6378
To activate this option for a device, add the following call prior to opening the interface.
ttUserInterface devLTE; char opt; . . . opt = 1; errorCode = tfInterfaceSetOptions(devLTE, TM_DEV_OPTIONS_VZ_REQ_LTEB13NAC, &opt, 1); assert(errorCode == TM_ENOERROR);
