A way to solve the issue of site multihoming is to have a separate 
site prefix for each connection of the site, and to derive 
corresponding addresses for each host. This approach to multi-
homing, which we call Host-Centric IPv6 Multihoming, has the 
advantage of minimal impact on the inter-domain routing fabric, 
since each site prefix can be aggregated within the larger prefix of 
a specific provider; however, it opens a number of issues. We 
analyze in detail the problem created by the interaction between 
ingress filtering and multihoming. We then propose a set of specific 
solutions that enable host centric multihoming, and we review how 
these solutions meet the requirements of IPv6 site multihoming.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
