* Thanks to Dave Thaler for the INT-DIR review.

## Comments

### S5.1.2.2, S8.2.4

* Super-nit-y, but RFC 5952 S4.3 indicates lowercase (ff02:...).

### S6.4.3

* "MUST respond to ND Neighbor Solicitation message"

  I think it might be helpful to reiterate here that the (R)outer Flag MUST
  be set in these messages (similar to the text in S6.4.1).

## Nits

### S1.4

* "will normally take more than 10 seconds to learn the default
   routers on a LAN"

  I found this wording to be misleading.  Hosts regularly learn default
  routers as soon as they join the network.  I think this text might actually
  mean something more like: "to learn *about a change in* the default routers
  on a LAN" and/or (possibly) "to learn *all* the default routers on a LAN".

  I see that 5798 had somewhat similarly worded text, so no strong feelings
  about changing this; just for your consideration.

### S5.1.1.3, S5.1.2.3, S7.1, S9

* Up to you, but RFC 5082 might be cite-able here, if it helps anything.

### S5.2.5

* "is ignored" -> "MUST be ignored", in order to use standards terminology?

### S6.4.3

* "the primary IPvX Address of the sender is greater than the local primary
   IPvX Address"

  I assume the comparison function implied here means "when IPvX addresses
  are treated as network-byte order unsigned integers"?

### S8.1.1

* Super nit-y, but you might consider:

  "running between a group of routers" ->
  "running among a group of routers"

### S8.3.2

* "Skew_Time is inversely proportional to the priority"

  Strictly speaking I think this isn't quite true (given the formula in
  S6.1, it's linear but with a negative coefficient?).  But it's been a long,
  long time since I've had any proper maths course, so maybe ignore me.

  "Skew_Time decreases with increasing priority", perhaps.  Or
  just leave it as is, since the figurative meaning is correct.

### S9

* If it helps, perhaps drop a reference to RFC 9099 S2.3, for some IPv6
  link-layer security considerations discussion.
