Hi Vlad,

Thanks for immediate reply.
What I understood from it is given below. Please confirm the same.  

Router Discovery fails when no default router is found (NO VALID RA WITH
NON-ZERO LIFETIME IS RECEIVED).

Host assumes that there is no router in the network for the purpose of
autoconfiguration and tries to check for stateful ways to get an address for
itself When NO VALID RA IS RECEIVED.


Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Neither.  It simply means that a Router Advertisement has not been received.
