Wow. Yes, the implementation of MNPP (our implementation) is also
based on radvd. Actually, it is an extension (patch) of radvd v1.5. I
have not made the wireshark dissector, but extended radvdump also. So,
the modified radvdump can capture and provide essential information
from the modified RA message that carries the MNP being used in the
MR.

Yes. Because we (you and I) have different message formats. ;-)
