The document defines a flag to mark NDP RA messages as originating from an SNAC router. As 6LoWPANs are likely to be typical stub networks, there may be relevant IoT-related considerations in the broader context of SNAC, where this flag is actually used. However, within the limited, "define-and-register" scope of this document, I struggle to find an IoT angle. I guess topics like ND optimisations/adaptations for 6LoWPANs, discussion on how constrained hosts on the stub are protected from the infrastructure et similia will be tackled in the main SNAC spec. (RA-Guard is mentioned en-passant. Maybe worth discussing it in the security considerations -- e.g., mentioning RFC7113?) # Nits (in --word-diff format): * an [-autonomously-configuring-]{+autonomously configuring+} router * The "SNAC Router" flag is[-router advertisement-] flag bit [-TBD.-]{+TBD in the RA Flags Extension Option.+} * Devices that do not operate as SNAC routers[-[I-D.ietf-snac-simple]-] * In environments that implement [-RA guard-]{+RA-Guard+} * does not [-changes-]{+change+} these considerations
