A defect was pointed out at the IETF-73 WG meeting (who?) regarding
optional support of the whiteboard in routers. What if a router does not
support the whiteboard model (thus RR/RC messages) described in this
document?
First, it would need to be clarified in the document, that the whiteboard
is not a required feature. The network can operate without it, although
only on optimistic addresses.
The E flag (ticket to have that removed) would not have solved the
problem. Possible suggestions include the definition of an ICMPv6 error
message which should be sent in response to an RR if the whiteboard is not
supported or not available.
