Hi Brian,

I am looking at the section that says:

"3.4.  Redirects
   There is potential for adverse interaction with any off-link Redirect
   (Redirect for a destination that is not on-link) message sent by a
   router in accordance with Section 8 of [RFC4861].  Hosts SHOULD apply
   off-link redirects only for the specific pair of source and
   destination addresses concerned, so the host's Destination Cache
   might need to contain appropriate source-specific entries.  This
   extends the validity check specified in Section 8.1 of [RFC4861]."

What is being proposed in the document I submitted is the inclusion of
RIOs in Redirect messages for a *prefix* that is not on-link, as opposed
to a singleton destination. So, the same SHOULD in the paragraph above
would seem to apply also to prefix redirection the same as for ordinary
destination redirection.

Thanks - Fred
