>I'd like to recommend that it SHOULD NOT be enabled by default. Please understand one point I made earlier on this thread. The IPv6 node-req-bis document is capturing what is specified already in RFC 4861 for Redirect. So if you want the node-req-bis document to specify anything contrary to RFC 4861 and Redirect, you have to take that up as a separate discussion on RFC 4861 and Redirect. We should not stall the node-req-bis document. Another issue should be clear. Redirect functionality is a SHOULD for router since RFC 2461 and has continued to be a SHOULD in RFC 4861. So router vendors have shipping gear that enables Redirect by default based on this SHOULD. Also, since the fact is known about the Redirect default on a router to be enabled, one can always disable the functionality before use of the router in their network. I said what I had to say on this Redirect subject.
