[ipv6hackers] Multi-ipv6 support (multi-router, multi-interface, multi-prefix) IETF draft

[Fernando Gont]

Hi,

I have posted a revision of draft-gont-v6ops-multi-ipv6. This document 
contains the problem statement regarding the support of multiple 
routers, multiple interfaces, and multiple prefixes by IPv6 hosts.

This revision polishes the text quite a bit, and incorporates two 
"failure" scenarios that should be supported, such that if you have a 
working set {source address, next-hop, RDNSS), you can survive network 
outages.

Your comments will be very appreciated!

Thanks,
Fernando

Abstract:

    This document discusses current limitations in IPv6 Stateless Address
    Auto-configuration (SLAAC) that prevent support for common multi-
    router, multi-interface, and multi-prefix scenarios.  It provides
    discussion on the challenges that these scenarios represent, and why
    a solution in this space is warranted.  Finally, it specifies a
    number of common scenarios that any solution in this space should be
    able to address.
