Off the top of my head, I don't know. Adding Shaul who might have an
idea.
Shaul, basically the NDP is used here to initialize the 4-addr
connection as such, and if the connection is HE capable we drop it. Can
you remind me what exactly the issue with NDP in HE was, and do you know
how that'd be affected by 4-addr NDPs?
