No doubt that is why shim6, the direct result of multi6, includes probes, a
keepalive timeout and discussion of what to do if failure occurs even during
context creation. Shim6 has not suceeded, but misunderstanding the need for
timeouts and probes was not the reason. There is some further discussion of
this issue, with experimental and simulation results, in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-naderi-ipv6-probing-01 .

I have never found it very helpful to accuse discussion partners of stupidity.
