RE: turning on comcast v6

[Matthew Huff <mhuff () ox com>]

With RA, what is the smallest interval failover will work? Compare that with NHRP such as HSRP, VRRP, etc with 
sub-second failover.

In corporate networks most of the non-client systems will be statically addressed with privacy addresses turned off. 
This is for regulatory, audit, security and monitoring requirement. One of the many challenges of ipv6 in a corporate 
environment.
