Just one observation, one could imagine if the non-ultilization of a
particular address were to produce (semi) persistent state, that you
could DOS the router by spraying however many million packets was
required to exercise that particular resource. You would not want for
example a scenario where a collector present over a tunnel or listening
on a subnet were to populate the router with non-existent neighbors in
order to continue a conversation.

The product of an xor where packets destined for valid neighbors go
there and everything else is blindly forwarded to the collector seems
plausible.
