this creates a new requirement to implement mac layer filtering of 0x86dd
across all ipv4 networks, on all network media, everywhere - in order to
stop casual jokers from trashing people's ipv4 network connectivity, even
if the signal is only the interface option (i.e. semantic option 1).  The
operational cost of this is not feasible.
