This issue claims that the lifetime field in the DHCPv6 Route Option should be 16 bits for compatibility with ND, instead of 32 bits as is currently in the draft.

There has been some discussion of this issue on the mailing list and in the WG meetings, but no formal resolution has been reached. 

Personally, I think that having the lifetime field have the same size and meaning between ND and the DHCPv6 route option is desirable.  So, I would propose that we change the length of this field to 16 bits in the document.

Thoughts?
