Summary: Ready
--------

Minor issues:
-------------

The writeup says "There was significant discussion if this document
should be extended to support links without multicast RAs
altogether. The consensus in the WG was to not do that in this
document."

But the Abstract says "Furthermore, on some links, unsolicited multicast
Router Advertisements are never sent and the mechanism in this
document is intended to work even in such scenarios."

These two statements are inconsistent. Also, section 2.1 describes
specific behaviour on non-multicast links (which as far as I can see,
will indeed work if RAs are both unicast and solicited).

I think the draft is fine, but the writeup is kind of strange as
a result. draft-nordmark-6man-rs-refresh tackles a different problem,
namely reducing multicast usage on multicast-capable links.

(FYI I did not track these discussions in 6man at all.)
