>It seems that those days, most (if not all) links in service provider networks are point to point. >You find ethernet shared access mostly in leaf networks, such as home or enterprises. I agree with Brian Carpenter and Bob Hinden - if the node is a router, the node MUST implement Redirect and SHOULD enable Redirect functionality and have the Redirect functionality configurable. Even if a router exists in the Internet core with one interface on the router connected in a point to point link, there are several other interfaces on the routers for which the router MUST implement Redirect functionality. There is a separate question that typically such P-P links in the core are SONET interfaces on a router. Such SONET interfaces do not even have ND available to configure on the interface. So where does the question of any existing functionality breaking come in?
