Since PPP does not support multicast, this will involve a smart NDP that takes into consideration the type of interface as well i.e. we cannot send a router solicitation to the all-routers address/send a router advertisement to all-nodes and so on.
Is this what most implementations do? I would like to know if most implementations use NDP over PPP in some way.
