RFC6706 already specifies how these Redirects work and is agnostic to the link type. AERO(bis) tells how they work on AERO links through use of the IPv6 ND protocol on a specific link type. > - multiple link addresses are already part of the Ethernet spec and > already handled by most IP over Ethernet implementations (and TOS > marking correlation is defined in 802.1p). I'd like to see what you are talking about so I can compare it to what AERO is doing. > When you assign more than > one link address to a single physical interface, you're acting as if you > have multiple links.

Going with what I just said above, the forwarding table indicates only the next-hop IP. It is the neighbor cache entry for the next-hop IP that includes the multiple link-layer addresses.

By making it an intarea doc, it would revert back to a -00.
