IMO this is not a show-stopping problem, as TCP will throttle back fairly

shim6...

My take is that shim6 should provide a notification mechanism that the transports can use to be told when there is a locator pair change. What the transports do when they are notified is presumably something that folks in the transport area can discuss, thus it isn't a show-stopper for shim6.
