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

["Fred Baker (fred)" <[e-mail]>]

I personally would find that interesting. As you note, we recently posted an RFC about managing power by managing activity. Andrew Yourtchenko has been interested in the chattiness of IPv6 implementations in WiFi, the issue being that it is a shared medium (not unlike an Ancient yellow Ethernet cable, and very unlike a switched network), so every hiccup reverberates throughout the network. I would expect that the issue affects mobile wireless in interesting ways. How chatty are we, and what needs to be adjusted?

Do you have something to share?
