+# Overview
+
+This test utilizes [scapy] to test GNRC's RDNSS option implementation for
+router advertisements
+
+To test, compile and flash the application to any board of your liking (since
+`ethos` is used to communicate with non-native boards it really doesn't matter
+as long as the application fits and the board is supported).
+
+    make flash
+
+And run the tests using
+
+```
+sudo make test
+```
+
+Note that root privileges are required since `scapy` needs to construct Ethernet
+frames to properly communicate over the TAP interface.
+
+The test passes on success, on failure an exception is shown.
