Yes, but some times ago Laine Stump says that for host side link status we can use source element with link state. > > I also don't really see how modifying the host side link state would be > useful. Could you elaborate why you think it would be useful? OSPF - tap device have addresses assigned to it and bird/quagga create routing based on interface link status and addresses on device. So if i have host side device in up state no matter that have guest - host system forward traffic to it. So i need to modify host side link status too.
