COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

First one minor editorial comment:
Sec 3.2 "Otherwise if even a single advertisement for the type-4 route is
       not received with the locally configured DF Alg and capability,
       the Default DF Election algorithm (modulus) algorithm MUST be
       used as in [RFC7432]."
I believe you meant a single advertisement is received without the configured
DF Alg and capability (or a different one I guess), and not that the
advertisement is not received at all (because that might be hard to check),
right? Maybe you can rephrase this sentence a bit to make the intention more
clear!

However, think about this further, I wondering if there is something here that
such be discussed in the security considerations, e.g. how easy would it be for
an attacker to disturb the algo selection and cause a fallback to the default
scheme...?
