Hello 6man, I have posted a new draft titled:
"Stub Router Advertisements in IPv6 Neighbor Discovery" http://tools.ietf.org/search/draft-templin-6man-stub-router The main idea is that RFC4861 specifies the operation of routers wrt sending and receiving Router Advertisements (RAs), but it makes no distinction between different classes of routers that may occur on a link. This document identifies two classes of routers: 1) those that connect a link to a provider network, and are thus "authoritative" for the link, and 2) those that connect stub networks to the link but do not directly connect the link to a provider network. This latter class of routers is not discussed in RFC4861, but the present document provides an analysis of the conditions under which a stub router may send RAs and specifies the information that stub routers may include in their RAs. I would like to see this document considered as a work item under the 6man wg, and I would welcome any comments and discussion on the draft.
