(multi6) the nonsense paragraph is back



multi6 folk,

I finally figured out what I meant when I wrote that
paragraph that apparently makes no sense. It would
make sense if it was not the complete opposite of
reality.

The offending paragraph was:

> Michel Py wrote:

This, indeed, does not make sense because the bulk
of the traffic is from the multihomed site to the
singlehomed site.

The sentence meant to be from the requester's
perspective and SHOULD have been:

  After all, the bulk of the traffic is likely to
| remain THE RETURN TRAFFIC from a singlehomed
  site at the source to a multihomed site at the
  destination. Since there is nothing to be done
  about load balancing at the source, it must be
  done at the destination, and preferably both
  egress and ingress.

Which is consitent with another part of my posting
that said that it would be ok to drop the ingress
load balancing part because it is unsignificant
compared to the rest of the traffic, although I
personally think that this requirement should
be maintained.

Michel.
