[TO-DO: How about ad-hoc networks? Attached neighbors may be considered attachment points].

[BA] Adhoc networks are tricky because each adjacency is a "link" which may be in an intermediate state between "up" and "down". Also, there may not be a clearly delineated point at which IP traffic can be sent. For example, in 802.11 adhoc it is possible to send data frames with "For DS" and "To DS" both set to zero, even in state 1 (unassociated, unauthenticated). Given this, when is the link "established"? One view could be that it is only established when the destination is enabled to forward packets to other nodes.
