Subject: [nemo] RA with router lifetime set to zero

Hi all;

I have a comment.

According to the [RFC2461],
RA with Router Lifetime field set to zero indicates that the router is not
a default router and SHOULD NOT appear on the default router list.

In NEMO basic support draft[Sec. 5.6], 
A MR MAY be configured to send a RA on the interface attached to the home
link. The value of the Router Lifetime field MUST set to zero to prevent 
other nodes from configuring the MR as the default router.

When hosts on the link receive the RA(router lifetime set to zero), they should delete the entry on the default router list.
Unlike IPv4, the RA doesn't contain a preference field, which helps set to specific router(e.g. MR) on the default router list.

I think that it's too strict to MR on the home link.
Also, if there is no router within the link, how can do routing for hosts?

How about that?

Best Regards.
