RE: Another requirement [Re: New (-02) version of IPv6 CPE Router draft is available for review]

Whether to reply with ICMPv6 unreachable or just silently discard the
packet I think would be at the discretion of the implementation until I
hear a good argument why one is preferable over the other.  The main
thing we were trying to avoid was routing loops.

These questions where about the choice to reply with an ICMPv6
unreachable or just silently discard the packet.
