No, NSR works on HF too because, in most cases, you do not want to
digipeat on HF due to bandwidth constraints.  Therefore, the topology
(or paths in this case) are actually very static on HF since most
everything should be direct.  What isn't static on HF is whether you can
reach a particular station or not but that is also true on the higher
frequencies to a lesser degree due to mobile/portable operation and band
openings.  So any discovery must, as Wes pointed out, be able to adapt
to whether an endpoint is on the LAN or not.
