This sounds like something sane to do. > Should-Stop: network-manager This does not entirely; stopping AICCU (thus giving up IPv6 connectivity) does not always mean you want to disconnect everything, there are networks where even AYIYA won't get out of. That said, tinc might benefit from the Should-Start addition too. OpenVPN already has this setup.

Nothing strict about this policy, just think about if you would like it if your servers where connected to in a never ending repeating loop (at the rates of hundreds of connects per second from what we have seen) where the user of that automated restart does not realize that that is happening as something in the background is doing it; or because they think they are ubersmart and monitored some random unrelated thing on the Internet and think that restarting is needed... Please note that the policy is primarily there to protect the server from being overwhelmed with useless requests that would effectively also cause a DoS for other users of that service. The behaviour of too many restarts also indicates that the source of those requests is having a problem that should be properly resolved.
