A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : IPv6 Multihoming with Alternate Path Encoding
Author(s) : K. Loch
Filename : draft-loch-multi6-alternate-path-encoding-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2004-11-18
This memo provides a method for multihoming IPv6 networks. A
multihomed site assigns IPv6 interface addresses using some of the
network bits from one or more alternate networks. IPv6 routers may
use this encoded path information when making routing decisions. If
a sufficient number of IPv6 routers use this method then benefits of
multihoming can be realized by any multihomed IPv6 site. This
method may also be used for separate site load distribution as a
limited form of anycast.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
