Thanks for the explanation, that was not clear to me by reading 1122.

This 3 mins timeout is relevant to a variation of case 'no Ipv6 
routers' where we
actually have a route but v6 packets are black holed somewhere
in the network. This case is not theoretical, it happens to
me at home on my dual stack network when I connect to SUN
via our v4 only VPN.
