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.
