Jim,
I'm sorry if my phrasing was not clear; I never intended to suggest
that hosts should run routing protocols. What I thought I suggested
was to use the routing system to propagate failures to leaf routers
(and then use ND :- implied).
Happy Easter,
Nigel

Nigel,
I knew that but was trying to provide same ability to end node
implementations without them having to run routing protocols on their end
nodes. I don't think phones and other IPv6 small devices should have to
run BGP et al to learn of link failures. All IPv6 nodes MUST support ND
and why I took that path as a brainstorm idea and its pretty lightweight
and fast.
