Hello Wojciech, Thank you for reading our draft. With respect to your draft: indeed I believe there may some issues with the way it proposes to convey the default router info. For example, if I am not mistaken, your draft does not communicate the MAC address of the default router. Some times communicating the MAC address could speed up the process (avoid the subsequent NS/NA to solve the MAC address). Also, it does not treat of lifetime of this default route (although it does treat of DHCP lifetimes). An ND-lifetime could be necessary sometimes to the ND structures in the Default Router List. Your draft communicates the default route as 128 0 bits, which may be too long in certain constrained environments (it adds around half to size of the entire message). There may be other issues about your draft that I would like to discuss. On another hand, what do you think about our draft, other than just being a different format than yours? Then, do you think it may be useful to communicate MAC and ND-lifetime of default route?
