Hi Yoav,There is already a mechanism specified in rfc4861 to randomize the transmission of RAs - see section 6.2.6. This would apply to 6lowpan-nd as well. The downside of this approach is the lengthening of the whole RS/RA procedure.

Hi,I have a question on 6LoWPAN-ND. I tried looking for this issue in the mailing list, but couldn’t find anything on this.Does the WG see a need for some kind of regulation of RA responses to host multicast of a RS query in 6LoWPAN-ND? Unless regulated, in a large and dense networks, this could cause excessive traffic for a meaningful period of time.Best regards, Yoav _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
