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

The SHIM6 protocol is a layer 3 shim for providing locator agility
   below the transport protocols, so that multihoming can be provided
   for IPv6 with failover and load sharing 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.
