Jaehoon Jeong;
Hi,
Attached is my suggestion of modification reflecting the fact that
ND runs poorly over WLAN.

In 3.1,
Through ND protocol and RDNSS
option along with prefix information option, an IPv6 host can
perform its network configuration of its IPv6 address and RDNSS
simultaneously [3][4]. The RA option for RDNSS can be used on any
+ network that supports the use of ND. However, RA approach performs
+ poorly in some wireless environment where RA message is used for
+ IPv6 address autoconfiguration, such as WLAN networks.
+ The RA approach is useful in some non-WLAN mobile environments where the
addresses of the RDNSSes are changing because the RA option
includes a lifetime field. This can be configured to a value that
will require the client to time out the entry and switch over to
another RDNSS address [8].
+ 4) This mechanism does not work over a broad range of scenarios and
+ leverages IPv6 ND. It works well on links that support broadcast reliably
+ (e.g., Ethernet LANs) but not necessarily on other links (e.g., wireless LANs).
+
5) The RA approach could be used as a model for other similar types
3.1.3 Observations
The proposed RDNSS RA option along with IPv6 ND and Auto-
configuration allows a host to obtain all of the information it
needs to access basic Internet services like the web, email, ftp,
etc. This is preferable in environments where hosts use RAs to
autoconfigure their addresses and all hosts on the subnet share the
+ same router and server addresses. It is preferable if the
configuration information can be obtained from a single mechanism,
it does not add additional delay, and it uses a minimum of
+ bandwidth. Environments like this may include homes, public cellular
+ networks, and enterprise environments where
+ no per host configuration is needed but excludes public WLAN hot spots,
.
