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)       : M. Bagnulo, E. Nordmark
        Filename        : draft-ietf-shim6-proto-03.txt

The SHIM6 working group is specifying a layer 3 shim approach and
   protocol 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 prefix 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.

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.
