Internet-Draft draft-linkova-6man-ununra-00.txt is now available. Title: Unicast Unsolicited Router Advertisements for Propagating Network Configuration Updates Author: Jen Linkova Name: draft-linkova-6man-ununra-00.txt Pages: 5 Dates: 2026-07-22 Abstract: Multicast transmissions on Wi-Fi links are known to be unreliable, making the propagation of critical network configuration changes via multicast Router Advertisements (RAs) prone to failure or severe delay. Existing approaches to improve reliability, such as sending multiple unsolicited multicast RAs, require fine-tuning timers and packet counts that may not fit all deployment scenarios. This document updates RFC 4861 by introducing an optimization: when a router detects a configuration change that must be propagated to hosts, it sends unicast Router Advertisements to every client recently observed on that interface.
