And there's no major technical reason I'm aware of why the NDP must be
used on p2p links at all. A router in theory need only figure out what
(p2p-) port to send a packet out on, and.. then do it. If there's only
one receiver connected, it's going to get the bits.

Not sure if vendors have NDP-less p2p-link features yet.

Regards,
Martin
