Re: [v6ops] IPv6 over 802.11p

Hi Alex, 

Increased RA rates were investigated for MIPv6, and this was not the preferred solution (though I submitted the text for the initial RFC).

Is it applicable to use Detecting Network Attachment procedures (RFC 6059) instead of high rates of beacons?

(obviously I have a bias, but that was the evolution which brought about the working group: MIPv6 o 802.11 w/beacons -> basic change detection support in DNA)

Sincrerely,
