Source address selection insufficient?
When reading draft-huitema-multi6-hosts-03.txt (which is good because
it works out enough details to raise questions) I wonder
if address selection can solve ingress filtering.
Taking the canonical picture from the draft
/-- ( A ) ---( ) --- ( C ) --\
X (site X) ( IPv6 ) (Site Y) Y
\-- ( B ) ---( ) --- ( D ) --/
This has 4 locator pairs:
A:X-C:Y
A:X-D:Y
B:X-C:Y
B:X-D:Y
The set of locator pairs that work when sending out from site X
might be A:X-C:Y and B:X-D:Y
but the set of locator pairs that work when sending from site Y might
be the other two: A:X-D:Y and B:X-C:Y.
Thus the intersection of the two ingress filtering constraints is the empty
set.
This can happen due to normal routing as far as I can tell.
The constraints for X appear if X routes packet to C out through A
and packets to D out through B.
The constraints for Y appear if Y routes packets to A out through D
and packets to B out through C.
Am I missing something?
If the above is true it seems like we need something other than
source address selection (relaxed filtering, source-based routing,
or locator rewriting).
