The point is, RA's are operationally fragile and DHCP is operationally robust.
No. Both are just as fragile... if you haven't taken steps to protect them. If you aren't doing any sort of DHCP snooping, anyone can setup a rogue DHCP server and kill your network -- been there, laughed at them. Even my *home* lan has DHCP snooping configured.
The only question is support for "RA Guard" in your network hardware. A lot of old gear isn't going to support it. But DHCP was no different.
