So, I think some time may need to be spent looking at RFC 2491 which is "IPv6 over NBMA". Another pertinent document may be RFC 2590. Brian James Kempf wrote: Yes, that's what I was wondering about. Considering 2641 was published in 1998, I would think that the NBMA situation would have been worke

Yes, that's what I was wondering about. Considering 2641 was published in 1998, I would think that the NBMA situation would have been worked out by now. So 2641bis could include a reference to the RFC describing how to do ND on NBMA links, or, if there is no longer a question about using 2641 direc
