mhhh,

With MaxRtrAdvInterval 10 then the:

AdvDefaultLifetime

will be 3 * 10 = 30 seconds. Don't know if this is anything related to
it. It should be send another RA messages in the interval of 3-10, so
far I know. In this interval the route (on RIOT side) should be updated,
or?

I think in my setup I used a high value (9000) for this to make anything
working. :-) I can imagine this parameter will not fix this issue, so it
happens later only.

"Must be either zero or between MaxRtrAdvInterval and 9000 seconds."
see [0].

---

Also sending periodic RA messages is some optional feature [1], but if I
remember correctly I used also a periodic transmit, because my RIOT node
never send another RS messages after booting and after lifetime ends it
didn't work anymore and that was the reason for high lifetime. :-) 

So far my expierence. And newbie question: When it's needed to send RS
messages? Maybe it's [2], so far 6775 doesn't update it.

thanks, maybe I can reproduce it now.

btw: with recent kernel and linux-wpan/radvd -> 6lowpan branch you can
also use 6CO to add your prefix for stateful compression.

There are currently pending patches for introducing neigh_ops, which is
a callback strucuture for send/recv NS/NA. After this is mainline it
should be easily to change this behaviour, or? What do you think?
See [3] - function "lowpan_ndisc_send_ns".

Can you show me the part in rfc6775 which describe that behaviour?
Also I need to admit that I am not an expert in 6LoWPAN-ND. :-)
