I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-shim6-proto-08.txt

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		: Shim6: Level 3 Multihoming Shim Protocol for IPv6
	Author(s)	: M. Bagnulo, E. Nordmark
	Filename	: draft-ietf-shim6-proto-08.txt
	Pages		: 131
	Date		: 2007-4-23
	
This document defines the Shim6 protocol, 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.
