If the prime object by requirering NUD on ISATAP links is to require ISATAP host to perform NUD on their default ISATAP router. Then this should be clarified in the draft, I think. (Another way to obtain reachability confirmation in this particular case would be for the host to perform the RS/RA exchange with its default router frequently enough. But the recommended 15 min's interval in between RS/RA exchanges would then of course probably not suffice) Karen
