   The ND exhaustion attack would be only possible for a directly connected   
   network, e.g. a LAN. A xfer network for a link between routers isn't affected   
   because ND should only accept local packets. Anyway, there are several   
   solutions to limit/mitigate the problem for a LAN router.
