Hi IMHO resolvability condition is completely unrelated to ARP/NDP. See RFC 4271 9.1.2.2, host route is resolved in the same way as regular route. NEXT_HOP is one IP address, but resolvability check does longest-matching prefix match to find matching prefix. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
