Hi Vijay,

why do you think a static route option is needed at all?
For the sake of autoconfiguration it is better to keep the routing 
information in the routers and to provide only a default router to the host 
(which is done through the router advertisements). In the case that the 
router is not the best choice for a specific route, the router will  send 
an ICMP redirect message to the corresponding host, to inform about a 
better router for this route.

Regards
Martin
