I point you to a fairly common Internet architecture artifact, the exchange point... dozens of routers sharing a common media for peering exchange.
And how do they discriminate now, with IPv4?
IPv4 has no concept of RA/ND. to make this construct work at all in IPv6, all participants have to turn -off- RA/ND to prevent one or more routers trying to impose their views of addressing on their neighbours.
But my question was not about IPv6. How do IPv4 routers operate in such a situation?
