Section 6.2.1., paragraph 12: > Default: 0.33 * MaxRtrAdvInterval The default MinRtrAdvInterval can only be calculated according to this formula if MaxRtrAdvInterval >= 9 seconds, because otherwise (MaxRtrAdvInterval can be as low as 4 seconds) it becomes less than the minimum of 3 seconds.

While we address Thomas' comments, we should also look into Donald Estlake's and Ralph Droms' reviews and how to address them.

Nit in Appendix F o Clarified that inconsistency checks for CurHopLimit are done for none zero values only. should be "non-zero", most likely.

I believe that the first and second sentence in the first paragraph of 6.2.1 may be interpreted as contradictory and be confusing: OLD: A router MUST allow for the following conceptual variables to be configured by system management. The specific variable names are used for demonstration purposes only, and an implementation is not required to have them, so long as its external behavior is consistent with that described in this document. Default values are specified to simplify configuration in common cases. I suggest to add a few words of clarification and turn this into: NEW: A router MUST allow for the following conceptual variables to be configured by system management. The specific variable names are used for demonstration purposes only, and an implementation is not required to have them, so long as its external behavior is consistent with that described in this document, and the functions described by the conceptual variables are configurable by some external management interface. Default values are specified to simplify configuration in common cases.
