Yep, I'd like to do something like that. The 'O' flag in NAs is the only reason any of this is possible! The reason I haven't gone down that path is that I'd like OptiDAD to work with unmodified routers. I think it has to if OptiDAD is to be widely deployed. -----Nick -- Nick 'Sharkey' Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://zoic.org/sharkey/> Hofstadters Law: It always takes longer than you expect - even when you take Hofstadters Law into account. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
