RE: V6ops: IPv6 site multihoming best practices

["Dwight Jamieson" <djamies@nortel.com>]

Janos,

The mechanisms described in RFC 3178 would maintain connectivity for an
ISP link failure and have the potential to maintain connectivity after
an ISP PE failure. Of course, a total ISP melt down would cause
connections to be lost for the end stations in the site using the failed
ISP. They could be reestablished using the alternate ISP.

Do you know if this solution has wide acceptance from enterprises or
ISPs?

Cheers,
Dwight

Hi,
 	I do prefer working solutions that exist for site multihoming:
e.g RFC 3178. I also cover several alternatives in my IPv6 Multihoming 
presentation: http://www.6diss.org/workshops/saf/multihoming.pdf
