A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Site Multihoming in IPv6 Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Multihoming L3 Shim Approach
	Author(s)	: E. Nordmark, M. Bagnulo
	Filename	: draft-ietf-multi6-l3shim-00.txt
	Pages		: 27

This document specifies a particular approach to IPv6 multihoming.
   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.

In the body type:

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
