@Hans Dedecker, you have hit it right on the head. There is no one specification limit, but rather a set of parametric relationships in a __system__. There are also simple matters of reality. A certain too fast RA represents congestion or link waste. It is not possible to robustly maintain a link if the information for the link is not refreshed at least 3 times in its link life (an RA may go missing or be garbled). At 20-40 odd seconds, it would be further ridiculous for a client to RA solicit as a fall-back-measure after the routers half-life and get things more in a knot. This is why I said "implied best practices," because the __system__ of relationships just doesn't work well any other way.
