Please *do* consider using /127 on "real" point-to-point links (e.g.
SDH/SONET, serial) - especially if you have internet facing links and
are using a hardware based forwarding platform from vendors like Cisco
or Juniper.

This may be your simplest choice if you want to avoid the "ping-pong"
problem which is very real (on some platforms). See
