From efb381caf102938d24149f38e98881d282ded11a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Percival Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2021 20:16:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] EC2: Turn off IPv6 DAD Disable Duplicate Address Detection in EC2 instances. The networking configuration in EC2, with IPv6 addresses assigned by DHCPv6 and host egress filtering, makes "duplicate addresses" impossible. This speeds up the boot process in EC2 by 2 seconds.
