[v6ops] Interest in energy consumption of IPv6 smartphones (vs. IPv4) (was: BCP 202, RFC 7772 on Reducing Energy Consumption of Router Advertisements)

Hi v6ops,

I wonder whether there may be interest in evaluating the energy 
consumption of an IPv6 application on smartphones, compared to its IPv4 
counterpart.

I suspect the difference may be negligible but I am not sure.

It would be good to avoid a situation in which the end user prefers IPv4 
on the smartphone because IPv6 empties the battery.
