(B=> So to be very clear, you're suggesting that if we don't remove probem 1)
(Bthen we should use
(Bthe above text instead of the following:
(B
(BIf no Router Advertisement is received on any interfaces, a multihomed host
(Bwill have no way
(Bof knowing which interface to send packets out on, even for on-link
(Bdestinations. One possible approach
(Bfor a multihomed node would be to attempt to perform address resolution on all
(Binterfaces, a step involving
(Bsignificant complexity.
(B
(BEssentially, the delta is: "The same argument applies to a singlehomed node
(Bthat does not receive
(Bany Router Advertisement"
