At least discovery needs multicast. LSDB sync can be unicast. There is code for IS-IS for that, right?
Yes.
The RP MUST support wireless media, where multicast rate is typically at a low rate and could be lossy. Bulk transfer,
Then I guess we need this requirement for the IP protocol(s) that are being set up using the routing protocol as well. How well does IPv6 work in the environments you're used to and trying to work around with these requirements?
e.g. LSDB synchronization, MAY make use of unicast mode, with adaptive rate and a retransmit scheme in case of packet loss. For relayed messages, a jitter mechanism SHOULD be used to desynchronize for collision avoidance.
Why does the L3 layer need to do collision avoidance? I thought this was up to L2 to do.
