It is clear that there is one more action done on the packet with RFC4443. But this has no impact on shipping ASIC based routers. It is difficult to say though if some smaller routers could be impacted. Another problem with RFC4443 is that it is breaking some application. There could be cases w

Pascal, ND has always been scoped per interface and so has been RFC 4862. That is why existing routers support configurable redirects per interface. Therefore something that is that clear about ND and Redirect, why do we have to add more text to the node-req-bis document related to per-interface?

Hi Pekka: Redirect is almost useless on non-transitive links (NBMA) at large, not only P2P. Radios being non-transitive, you'll see more and more of those beasts. And a radio router usually uses only radios. So there's a whole family of routers that have strictly no use of redirect. If we decide t
