Seriously? That's the best you can come up? A three year old presentation?
The RA and ND vulnerabilities are just the IPv6 versions of ARP floods and
similar attacks. They are well-understood and long mitigated.

On the other hand, if you have an IPv4 only network with lots of IPv6
capable devices on it and someone compromises a host to start sending out
RAs, what exactly is your defense posture?

My comments represent reality. Your security posture is much worse in an
IPv4 only configuration than if you enable and control IPv6.
