To rephrase my original question: has SUSE done anything to mitigate the rogue RA threat? Is it even possible to mitigate without causing collateral damage? I'm certainly not an expert here...
How significant is that threat for a typical openSUSE user? If it's a genuine threat, I would certainly expect some mitigating features in SLES.
Unknown. You need a mixed local network. Mixed as in Windows-Linux machines, but being IPv6. Then you can find the problem, because it only needs a random Windows user activating the wrong option. Apparently a Windows machine can be told (I don't know where exactly) to advertise itself as a router. But in fact, it can not route, so it accepts packets which end nowhere, killing connections. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
