I was looking for a definition of "default-free zone" that I could
simply reference. The best definition that I got was from:
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg10120.html
which still left me with something to be desired.
(The topology doesn't have to be the least bit convoluted. It is
just a question of the buck stopping here...)
I thought that multi6 requirements might have a definition, but
they do not. The term is used extensively in the multi6 charter, but
never well defined. I understand the term well, but I was hoping that
it was defined elsewhere already.
I would write:
"Default-free zone:
The set of routers that maintain a complete set of routes to
all currently reachable destinations. Having such a list, these routers
never make use of a default route. A datagram with a destination address
not matching any route will be dropped by such a router."
