Note that an exchange point LAN is a bit of an odd duck. RA's are
supposed to be disabled. There is no DHCP.
Rather, the ND behavior is casued by people statically configuring
BGP sessions and then a participant leaving. So ND (or even ARP)
tries over and over to find the missing participant.
The thing to investigate here is if ND rate limiting is implemented
correctly by the vendors involved, similar to ARP rate limiting. I'm
not sure if there are standards requirements that could be in play as
well.
I'm not sure this has anything to do with the RA/DHCP issues...
