COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I share Yaron Sheffer's concern about the incoming ACL. Do you really mean to
list all the probe-capable nodes?

   or IPv6 Neighbor Cache [RFC4861].  Otherwise, it reports that the
   interface does not exist.
Hmm... So you don't try to ping it yourself? That's interesting.

      the probed node.  The L-bit is clear if the probed interface is
      directly connected to the probed node.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but how does the probing node know?
I.e., can it address by IP address and set L=0?

      Ethernet is running on the probed interface.  Otherwise, the E-bit
      is clear.
This seems pretty limited. Does "WiFi" count for instance?
