SV: Samsung phones block WiFi IPv6 when sleeping, delayed notifications

[Eric Vyncke (evyncke)]

Please read some IETF draft related to NDP/multicast/WiFi issues (Lorenzo
is very active there).

Multicast RA are not really needed anyway, some 'high market' (see my
email address) AP have dozens of tricks to reply to RS with a UNIcast RA,
and trying to reduce the amount of NDP mcast.

If you want to measure by yourself: https://github.com/evyncke/mcast6
which will display basic summary of all your mcast IPv6 traffic.

And bear in mind that every WiFi mcast frame wakes up ALL your WiFi device
and is sent at the lowest rate (wasting bandwidth) ;-)
