It's also just nice to not need numbered point-to-point links (ie. just use IPv6 LL).

(this is one of those things that's really magical with OSPv3 - it just runs on IPv6 LL addresses, no need to set anything up other than set the link to be within some area and it just works! well, as much as they do with OSPF anyway.)

A router still needs a non-link-local address in order to be able to send ICMP errors off-link -- which you're going to want if you want sensible output from traceroute..

    Use a loopback address! Only one to configure per host, and useful to establish iBGP sessions on them afterwards.
