I really hate "try, fail, retry" logic. As I said earlier, we should change so that host will send to a *default* router only using prefixes specifically advertised by that router. Router should be advertising only prefixes, which wouldn't trigger the "icmp". -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
