Um, what does a router do? Look at the example in the text and ask yourself if you want an average user (my canonical "average user" being my daughter, who wanted me to come to her house to install a camera on her computer so she could use it on Skype - "did you try plugging it in?") manually installing routes in each of the four routers when they could in fact learn them from each other directly?
So, looking at this from another angle, namely deployment. I'm a router engineer, I support the use of routing protocols as much as the next router engineer, but I think a good question to ask is whether most home CPE vendors think RIP for IPv6 is hard to implement, or if this is something they consider easy?
If it's easy to implement RIP for IPv6 then I'm a proponent for that model.
Fred, (just checking) the model you're advocating then is that DHCPv6-PD from the main home CPE (with WAN connection) hands out subnets which are then announced to all home gateways via RIP(v6) ?
