Re: updated draft-petrescu-autoconf-ra-based-routing-05.txt

Hi Alexandru,

> Each Mobile Router multicasts special RAs on the egress interface, containing the Mobile Network Prefix that is assigned to its moving network.

Could there be a situation where "normal" and "special" RAs are being
sent by the same router? If so, how will they differ despite the M-Bit
set? Will this lead to routers sending two types of RAs? Is there a
special reason why we do not mark the individual Route Information
Option with a M-Bit but the whole RA?

I tried to do a sketch how to implement this draft into the "ratools"
daemon, at came accross the mentioned questions.

Cheers

Dan
