DAD is Duplicate Address Detection.

IP6 has a whole slew of addresses that a host may use; the one you're
looking at is for the link-layer (MAC) address-derived IP6 address. This
is just a message reporting that no other node on the local network
appears to be using that address. Just because it's couched in the
negative doesn't make it an error message.
