| The reason why the conclusion of the w.g. in Salt Lake City was to keep the
| documents separate is that this document is changing the base behavior of
| Neighbor Discovery when there is more than one default router. The Default
| Router Preferences draft is an optional mechanism (see the draft). It may
| not always be used and/or implemented.
My general feeling is that without router preferences being implemented,
the new load sharing stuff should not be implemented either. That is,
it is fine, but only if I'm guaranteed a way to override it.
Expecting everyone to implement load sharing, and making preferences just
an optional add on that some can implement if they feel like it, is not
acceptable. (The "some" being the hosts that receive the RA's of course,
I'll simply assume that any router worth having will implement router
preferences).
Because of that, I'd much prefer that the two be in the same document, so
they get exactly the same status.
