Hi, Ravi.
Thanks for your explanation to Francisco.
And, talking about "special device",
I already answer him at another e-mail,
but I want to advertise it at here, in order to share the information.
"Special device" is a device used for more limited purpose than "host" or "router".
For example,
a server device may not autoconfigure its own global address by receiving RAs.
It may not automatically configure default route by RAs, either.
A core router may not have RA transmission capability.
Such devices with specific purposes are called "special devices",
to distinguish them from more general-purpose "hosts" and "routers".
Regards,
