Just attack traffic.But creating a solution where you can talk to anyone else on the Internet but not the ones in your own neighborhood is broken, so it needs to be fixed. In IPv4 I've seen this solved with local-proxy-arp within the subnet, and for IPv6 it's easily solvable by not announcing an on-link network so they won't even try to communicate directly with each other but instead everything is routed via the ISP upstream router and then down again to the other customer CPE/computer.
I did not show my work. I apologize. I will try again: If I am a commercial customer of an eyeball ISP like Road Runner: *I am entitled to expect that that ISP is technically capable of protecting me from possible attack traffic from that other customer*, who's outside my administrative span of control. If they can send me traffic directly across a local access subnet, that requires a much larger hammer than if such traffic must cross the edge concentrator first, the configuration I assert is a better choice. Does that help? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
