Neighbor IPv6 address of the neighbor.

Linklayer address of the neighbor. It could be
``(incomplete)'' when the address is not available.

Netif Network interface associated with the neighbor cache
entry.

Expire The time until expiry of the entry. The entry could
become ``permanent'', in which case it will never
expire.

S State of the neighbor cache entry, as a single letter:

N Nostate
W Waitdelete
I Incomplete
R Reachable
S Stale
D Delay
P Probe
? Unknown state (should never happen).

They are: Router, proxy neighbor advertisement (``p'').
The field could be followed by a decimal number, which
means the number of NS probes the node has sent during
the current state.
