I forgot to mention the failure mode of the above. Suppose
system R has two interfaces I1 and I2. And there are two LLA
only systems L1 and L2 which happen to pick the same LLA.
L1 is on the I1 network and L2 is on the I2 network. Then
the first system, L1 or L2, which makes contact with R wins.
It means that the other one will not be able to communicate
with R. Is this failure mode OK?
