Yes, easier to do on a point-to-point link compared to a 
broadcast network.

That said, I'm still for more of an MT-type solution a la 
IS-IS, so that this applies to the entire protocol. This 
way, operators do not have to fuff around with yet-another-
knob (until they really have to).

Any thoughts around this?

Cheers,

Mark.
