Re: successful termination?

Jari,

If I look at both Geoff's and Olivier's (relayed) comments,
it's clear to me that there is work to be done.

I agree that the address-pair selection issue is broader
than just shim6 (and is related to other things, such as
egress router selection). But there may still be some work
do here, on 'SHIM6 Requirements for Address Pair Selection',
even if the actual specification belongs in 6MAN.

I agree that there is commonality of interest with multipath
transport, but it's far from clear to me that there is
actual overlap in the mechanisms; SHIM6 is a layer 3 shim,
and multipath transport sure seems like a layer 4 shim,
which was a direction that MULTI6 explicitly choose not to
follow up.

That said, it's clear that the union of Geoff's and Olivier's
messages add up to a program of work, basically to find out if
SHIM6 is deployable and useful. I think it would be a shame
to pause before doing that.
