(usagi-users 03412) Source address for neighbor solicitations

[Ignacy Gawedzki <ig@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just solved a nasty routing problem that came from the fact that routers
had no link-local address.  It happens that NS initiated by routers are sent
with the link-local source address (in case the router is not the source of
the packet that prompted the NS) or are not sent at all if the interface has
no associated link-local address.

I know that routers MUST have a link-local address on each interface, but
in case a router doesn't, shouldn't it use any global address available to
send the NS instead of just silently failing?
