Hi,

We have posted a new draft that extends Router Advertisements to include information about the one or more NTP servers present in the network. This is useful where the delays in acquiring server addresses and communicating with the servers are critical (mobile environment for example). 

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-bcd-6man-ntp-server-ra-opt-00.txt 

Would be great to get some feedback from the WG.

We will also be soliciting comments from the NTP and the TICTOC WGs.

Cheers, Manav
