Hello Peter

The bit is agnostic to which technique, say RPL but also any routing protocol 
or ND proxy is used in the particular environment. 

The bit says I’m a plain host, please ensure reachability for the address I’m 
registering.

The bit is chosen in that direction for backward compatibility with RPL.

A plain host that conforms rfc6775 update will always set both the R and T bits.

Regards,

Pascal
