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.
