In the case where host1 and host2 are on two different
links, and the default router had a short lifetime then went
down unexpectedly.
What is the way to differentiating between these 2 cases?
Or is it necessary to make such distinction?
Because host1 will treat host2 as on-link so it will
generate unnecessary traffic on net1, similarly by
host2 on net2. This action applies to all those hosts residing
on net1 that want to communicate with hosts on net2,
and vice versa.
Is this an acceptable behavior? Considering the possible number
of hosts and applications that may be running, could this be
significant enough to have an impact on bandwidth ?
