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

Dear Alexandre

Thank you for your concern.

I think we'll have to look into it by making different test scenarios, both
with IPv4 and IPv6. Like maybe we need less/more RAs when an IPv6-only
network needs to connect to IPv4-only network, or vice versa, or any
possible combination of the two.

Regards

Adeel Sadiq
