Hello,

>From your draft:

   |Routers that implement the current recommendations would send the
   |periodic multicast router advertisements every 30 minutes, which can
   |be a significant problem in mobile/cellular network environments.

Why do you think 1 multicast RA per 30 minutes is a significant problem
for a host? Personally, I would think that 1 RA per 30 mins has a
negligible impact on energy cost. 30 minutes is really longtime IMHO. 

In addition this may be useful: 
Every 30 minutes (or less), my host will wake up, look around i.e.
receive the RA, thus make sure that the access router is *still* 
with me, and sleep again.

What's wrong with that?

Thanks
pars
