Re: (ipv6mh) about MHAP draft

Hi Michael,

Sorry to say, I haven't read your draft, so excuse me if the following question is stupid.

Here is the main idea:

- When the IPv6 packet or datagram is processed by the first aliasing-

multihomed destination IPv6 address is replaced with one of the
possible singlehomed PA addresses.
So, your proposal is, in effect, a coordinated deployment of NAT at ISP or site borders?

Here is the sales pitch:

...


- MHAP provides site multihoming. ISP multihoming is unchanged.
What is the difference between a site and an ISP?

Does your proposal introduce different end-to-end behaviour according to whether two communicating hosts are behind the same NAT, or whether there is one more NAT between them?

MHAP Concepts:

- Rendezvous points and aggregators answer topology requests. They do
not carry traffic.
What are the failure modes for control-plane devices which do not participate in traffic flow?
