RE: IETF multihoming powder: just add IPv6 and stir




IMHO, firewall type filtering should be on "who" you are, not 
on "where" you are.

The only filtering on location that makes sense to me is to simply
ensure that the source locator is not spoofed.

|    The need to filter is an operational reality.
|    
|    So how do we filter on an identifier? Put them into the 
|    routing tables 
|    and then uRPF? And if the identifiers are in the routing 
|    tables, who 
|    needs a locator?
|    
|    To me, identifiers belong at layer 4 and up. Locators 
|    belong at layer 
|    3. So any filtering on layer 3 must be on locators.
