It's my opinion that we can't rely on 5.5 working. Hosts need to not support
5.5 and things should still work.
Why do hosts need to not support 5.5?
From RFC6724:
"Discussion: An IPv6 implementation is not required to remember
which next-hops advertised which prefixes. The conceptual models
of IPv6 hosts in Section 5 of [RFC4861] and Section 3 of [RFC4191]
have no such requirement. Hence, Rule 5.5 is only applicable to
implementations that track this information."
So since 5.5 is not a MUST (and most hosts today do not support 5.5 as far
as I know), designing HOMENET based on 5.5 support on all hosts seems
misdirected.
... or what am I missing?
