Sorry, I should have said s/link-local addresses/link-local nodes/, typo. Most traffic is not on the local link, rather connecting to service X over the Internet. Node information queries are not useful except on the local link. Why not? One could consider why the mechanism is still "stuck" in the IESG. I totally agree with not publishing ICMP NI as long as it can be (ab)used to query off-link nodes. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems.
