Furthermore, the IPv6 router implementations I'm familiar with, don't allow you to directly set the Minimum Router Advertisement Interval, it is automatically computed as 75% of the Maximum Router Advertisement Interval, as recommended in RFC4861. Therefore, in such implementations the Maximum Router Advertisement Interval would need to be set at 685 seconds.

The bit about the inter-router-advertisement interval was at my suggestion. Lorenzo had complained that the draft didn't do anything to meet RFC 7772. That was changed somewhere between -07 and -10. However, it resulted in only specifying MaxRtrAdvInterval. If we want to have no more than seven RAs per hour (per RFC 7772), it is MinRtrAdvInterval that is important. 514=3600/7, hence the specification of MinRtrAdvInterval.

May I suggest you suggest text? What would you like it to say?
