Re: [dhcwg] RFC 3315 - Dhcpv6 client message retransmission question

["Bernie Volz (volz)" <volz at cisco.com>]

The randomization is +0.1 to -0.1 ... so this impact is small (it does
mean that the limit, which is also subject to randomization, could be 33
seconds to 27 seconds). I don't think it really changes much of anything
in my analysis and the point I was trying to make.

I guess you're predicting that DHCPv6 will hit the big time in 2012?

To the guy in 2012 who is going to make our lives miserable because
you're too 
overworked to read the RFC: That is **doubled WITH RANDOMIZATION**!
