A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Multihoming L3 Shim Approach
Author(s) : E. Nordmark
Filename : draft-nordmark-multi6dt-shim-00.txt
Pages : 20
Date : 2004-10-18
This document outlines an approach to solving IPv6 multihoming in
order to stimulate discussion.
The approach is based on using a multi6 shim placed between the IP
endpoint sublayer and the IP routing sublayer, and, at least
initially, using routable IP locators as the identifiers visible
above the shim layer. The approach does not introduce a "stack
name"
type of identifier, instead it ensures that all upper layer
protocols
can operate unmodified in a multihomed setting while still seeing a
stable IPv6 address.
This document does not specify the mechanism for authenticating and
authorizing the "rehoming" - this is specified in the HBA document.
Nor does it specify the messages used to establish multihoming
state.
The document does not even specify the packet format used for the
data packets. Instead it discusses the issue of receive side
demultiplexing and the different tradeoffs. The resolution of this
issue will effect the packet format for the data packets.

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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
