Just appeared :) -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Reply-To: internet-drafts@ietf.org To: i-d-announce@ietf.org Cc: shim6@psg.com Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-shim6-proto-00.txt Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2005 15:50:02 -0400 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Site Multihoming by IPv6 Intermediation Working Group of the IETF. Title : Level 3 multihoming shim protocol Author(s) : E. Nordmark Filename : draft-ietf-shim6-proto-00.txt Pages : 61 Date : 2005-10-3 The SHIM6 working group is exploring a layer 3 shim approach for providing locator agility below the transport protocols, so that multihoming can be provided for IPv6 with failover and load spreading properties, without assuming that a multihomed site will have a provider independent IPv6 address which is announced in the global IPv6 routing table. The hosts in a site which has multiple provider allocated IPv6 address prefixes, will use the shim6 protocol specified in this document to setup state with peer hosts, so that the state can later be used to failover to a different locator pair, should the original one stop working. This document picks a particular approach to such a protocol and tries to flush out a bunch of details, with the hope that the WG can better understand the details in this proposal as well as discovering and understanding alternative designs that might be better. Thus this proposal is my no means cast in stone as the direction; quite to the contrary it is a depth first exploration of the design space.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-shim6-proto-00.txt". 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. _______________________________________________ I-D-Announce mailing list I-D-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i-d-announce
