> Why make things easy when we can make them complex... Good question.
I'm sort of baffled about where this thread has gone... RAs are great for configuring hosts. repeat after me: hosts. They are clearly of substantial utility in leaf and edge networks where hosts connect. This ID is targetted at inter-router links, i.e., core networks. There will be few if any "hosts" attached to them. Indeed, we are talking about exactly two nodes on the link, the two routers connected by the point-to-point link. They won't need to run RAs, etc. They won't need stateless autoconfig. I also don't like the "ND off-link model" term. I don't know what that model refers to or what it means. It's also of no utility in a core network, where the routers are presumably running routing protocols and not using RAs to find default routers... But maybe I'm just confused...
