It’s mostly the 0 real routing protocols case on some routers that it 
addresses. However, I’m perfectly happy to live with the ‘1 routing protocol, 
always’ mode of operation too ;)

Just snooping wouldn’t work very well, as for assuming no-real-routing 
arbitrary node in topology, both it and it’s neighbors have to do manual route 
maintenance to keep packets flowing. The fallback option (documented in 
hncp-00) would work, though, if the affected node and it’s on-link neighbors 
would do it.

Cheers,
