The Wi‑Fi Alliance’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication uses IPv6.
However, in Chapter 53 “Wi‑Fi Aware” of the Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Devices, Release R26, it is stated that “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported.”
This has caused confusion among developers: Does Apple’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication actually use IPv6?
What is the impact of “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported” in Apple’s implementation?
