Re: What's our target audience? (Was: Re: Shim6 proxies)
Hello;
OK, I'll expound a little.
I work at home and I really needs my Internet connection.
I can become "multi-homed," (and, in fact, am considering it)
but let's say I would rather not run BGP from home.
So I could get shim6, but what if I find that I
don't get to use it much, because the content providers I use
don't support it ? If you come come along and sell me a service /
software / hardware to
fix this, I might buy it.
I use my multihoming and shim6 to get to your equipment in a well
provisioned
colo or exchange point somewhere; from there to the providers is
standard
IP, v6 or maybe even v4, but that's OK because that's all on high
capacity
"backbone" links.

Neither - where the proxy is located on my network.
I am sorry but i am completely lost here...
and who's network is this? i mean, is this a provider's network?, i
guess so, but who's provider? the dentist's? and what is the point
of locating a shim proxy in a provider, when you are looking for is
resiliency against provider failures...
I don't know about you, but I am multi-homing my house to protect
against MY ISP's failures, not Google's
or the IETF's or ... . If I have two connections, I can tunnel
through both of them
to some well connected place which is much less likely to fail (and,
through the magic of capitalism, can afford to be much more
redundantly connected than I can at home). If the people at the other
end don't support shim6
(and I frankly think that content providers are likely to resist
supporting shim6), then, if I can use
shim6 to this well connected place and a suitable proxy to get the
home redundancy I want, I
may well pay for it, and, if enough people feel the same way, you
might have a business.
thanks, marcelo
You're welcome. Hope this helps, or at least was interesting.
