If we have two routes prefix1/K -> router1 prefix2/L -> router2 with K < L, and such that prefix1/K == prefix2/K (e.g. shorter prefix also covers addresses of the longer prefix). - which is more significant priority or prefix length? - if router2 is not reachable, obviously packets matching prefix2/L can be sent to router1. But, is there any advice on algorithm how the system detects if router2 becomes available? Just wait for RA? Probe with some logic?. (There is no RA in IPv4 -- I think this should work for IPv4 too!) Note: default routes are just a special case where K=0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
