I was thinking that it might be easiest to allocate some flags in the router advertisement message. In that case, you could in theory also do it per prefix. But that may complicate routers too much. (When doing ND, routers can keep track of for which on-link prefixes they have recently dropped packets. Also, routers can give priority to ND requests that originate from whithin the router, so there should never be any reason to request help for link-local addresses). -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
