Hi, I've just solved a nasty routing problem that came from the fact that routers had no link-local address. It happens that NS initiated by routers are sent with the link-local source address (in case the router is not the source of the packet that prompted the NS) or are not sent at all if the interface has no associated link-local address. I know that routers MUST have a link-local address on each interface, but in case a router doesn't, shouldn't it use any global address available to send the NS instead of just silently failing? -- I used to have a sig, but I've stopped smoking now.
