An idea occured to me while reading this; would it be possible for
RSPF function more as an autonomous process and source route any
tests it used ? If it judges the route reliable, then it
can update the routing table. I've not thought out any of the
details so this probably woudn't work for many other reasons, but
at least its a straightforward way of RSPF having "private" routes
that its exploring.. I've never really understood why RSPF needs
to know so much about low level stuff like ARP, but then again whenever
I think about RSPF for too long my head hurts.....
