* Name: neighbor_out
*
* Description:
* This function should be called before sending out an IPv6 packet. The
* function checks the destination IPv6 address of the IPv6 packet to see
* what L2 address that should be used as a destination L2 address.
*
* If the destination IPv6 address is in the local network (determined
* by logical ANDing of netmask and our IPv6 address), the function
* checks the Neighbor Table to see if an entry for the destination IPv6
* address is found. If so, an L2 header is pre-pended at the beginning
* of the packet and the function returns.
*
* If no Neighbor Table entry is found for the destination IPv6 address,
* the packet in the d_buf is replaced by an ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicit
* request packet for the IPv6 address. The IPv6 packet is dropped and
* it is assumed that the higher level protocols (e.g., TCP) eventually
* will retransmit the dropped packet.
*
* Upon return in either the case, a packet to be sent is present in the
* d_buf buffer and the d_len field holds the length of the L2 frame that
* should be transmitted.
