Title: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery On-Link Assumption Considered Harmful
State: Pending
Authors: Sebastien Roy, Alain Durand, James Paugh

This document describes a change to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery conceptual
host sending algorithm. According to the algorithm, when a host's default
router list is empty, the host assumes that all destinations are on-link.
This is particularly problematic with IPv6-capable nodes that do not have
off-link IPv6 connectivity (e.g., no default router). This document
describes how making this assumption causes problems, and describes how
these problems outweigh the benefits of this part of the conceptual sending
algorithm.
