Hi, In RFC2373, a subnet-router anycast address is defined, from the prefixes available on a link, with host ID part set to 0.
Should it be done also for the link-local prefix ? i.e. is it mandatory for a router to answer to the fe80:: anycast address ? If yes, would it make sense for a host on a link to configure its default route with fe80:: as gateway, without managing a default gateway list, and instead relying on NDP/NUD to switch from a dead gateway ?
