Good question.  It's always needed for multicast, of course.  For
unicast, I guess one could look at whether the subnet prefixes of the
SGID and DGID are the same, but I'm not sure that's sufficient -- a
router could conceivably sit between two subnets with the same subnet
prefix.

Perhaps some of the Obsidian guys could comment?
