Description
Max Reachability Confirmations is the max number of re-transmissions to send when a NIC's link address has changed.
From RFC 4861 Section 7.2.6. Sending Unsolicited Neighbor Advertisements
```
In some cases, a node may be able to determine that its link-layer
address has changed (e.g., hot-swap of an interface card) and may
wish to inform its neighbors of the new link-layer address quickly.
In such cases, a node MAY send up to MAX_NEIGHBOR_ADVERTISEMENT
unsolicited Neighbor Advertisement messages to the all-nodes
multicast address. These advertisements MUST be separated by at
least RetransTimer seconds.
```
This issue tracks the discussion if we need to implement this feature. If so, this feature will track the implementation of `MaxReachabilityConfirmations`.
