There is a site local scope all routers multicast address ff05::2, but this requires all routers to be configured to listen/answer on that address. Another possibility is the subnet-router anycast address. But I don't see a possibility to figure out hosts. Maybe by reading all routers MAC address tables via SNMP? But I'm surprised that SNMP works. Are there so many routers out there still using the "preconfigured" community string "public"?! 4) It performs a new network scanning (or broadcast ping) on the lans where interfaces Of the routers are connected to; Hmm, IPv4 has a subnet directed broadcast, but IFAIK this is seldomly supported, so a broadcast ping normally doesn't work and scanning must be performed. IPv6 has no equivalent to that broadcast type and - as you already mentioned - scanning in LAN's isn't feasable.
