Dynamic routing protocols, such as provided by zebra/quagga? On a
multi-access link, determining that the network is down is somewhat
difficult unless you can build some kind of keep-alive state-checking
mechanism (which is one of the functions that most routing protocols
provide).

One day someone asked Master Yun-men: "I've heard it said that one should
not leave home to become a monk without parents' consent. How then should
one leave home?" "Shallow!" the Master said.
"I don't understand." "Deep!" replied the Master.
