As far as I can tell, the ping-pong behavior is a bug. The operators do need some help from the vendors working around the bugs until the vendors can fix them. Separately, it appears that the operators want to use /127 for pt-to-pt inter-router links, and I see no good reason to say that they

1. Absence of ND on p2p links is logical. There is no need for ND. There are only two neighbors. We always know L2 destination address, why should we use any mechanisms to resolve it ? 2. You are right, "forward packets back to the link they are coming from" is not normal behaviour for p2p links.
