Address and direction sensitive link state. That is, for some combinations of source, destination and direction of transit the link is up, but for other combinations of combinations of source, destination and direction of transit the link is down. Distance-vector protocols can provide this for a limited but very useful subset of the possible combinations. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
