Hi Brian, It's not clear to me what you mean. Do you mean, that the many RA received at NetworkManager cause NetworkManager to send too frequent RS (in turn, repeating a vicious cycle)? I wouldn't see that from the log. There are no log lines about additional router solicitations sent by NetworkManager. Also, NM only sends RS based on timeouts, not based on RAs that it receives [1]. can you clarify what you think is the harmful behavior? Also, does tcpdump/wireshark show that NM sends too many RS?
