this would be ok if there were not possible to do better, but this is
not the case.
We can design a solution that provide some of the fault tolerance
capabilities when just one of the endpoints support the solution. In
particular, the benefits would be the capability of establishing new
communications through the alternative paths.
Yes, but I think its the "source address selection" module
rather than the shim6 protocol proper that helps here. Both
are components of the "SHIM6 system", but nevertheless...
this would provide some fault tolerance benefits to the multihomed site
independently of whether the external hosts support the shim or not.
imho this would render the multihoming solution much more attractive
so i would argue that we should explicitly include an item in the
charter to do this
Right. Do you want a separate document, or just that the
specific case is described in the shim6 documents?
