Re: shim6 proxies
Hi Marcelo,
I read your draft and found it insightful. I had a couple of
questions as below:
- I am not sure if I understand the definition of CMULA and its
expected role in P-shim6, so please help me clarify. According to
draft-ietf-ipv6-ula-contral-01.txt, CMULAs are not expected to be
routable globally. However, reading the P-shim6 draft, I assume
that CMULA need to be globally routable addresses.
And if there is any problem with assigning more than one CMULA
blocks to a multihomed site?
- In Section 5, it is mentioned that P-shim6 box virtually assigns
PA address for each host and uses it as locator for each
multiplexing/demultiplexing for the proxy-shimmed flow.
But wouldn't it be possible for the P-shim6 box to use a PA
address as a common locator for multiple clients? I would
think that proxy-shimmed payload traffic can be normally
demultiplexed to CMULA on the receiver. Sharing common locator
may help to reduce costs of REAP failure detection.
I missing something?
- The draft says that P-shim6 box should be the DNS server for
the hosts, providing DNS relay in a specific manner; inducing
the host to access to its peer with ULID. But I am wondering
if such role can be played by other DNS server (!= P-shim box)
as well. Is there any reason why P-shim6 box should be involved
in address resolution requested by host?
Regards,
Shinta
