Router advertisement Lifetime:
You can set the time for the period that the router sends
(broadcast) its router advertisement. Each router periodically multicasts a Router
Advertisement from each of its multicast interfaces, announcing the IP address(es) of that
interface. Hosts discover the addresses of their neighboring routers simply by listening
for advertisements. When a host attached to a multicast link starts up, it may multicast a
Router Solicitation to ask for immediate advertisements, rather than waiting for the next
periodic ones to arrive; if and only if no advertisements are forthcoming, the host may
retransmit the solicitation a small number of times, but then must desist from sending any
more solicitations. Any routers that subsequently start up, or that were not discovered
because of packet loss or temporary link partitioning, are eventually discovered by
reception of their periodic (unsolicited) advertisements.
