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 : Level 3 multihoming shim protocol
Author(s) : M. Bagnulo, E. Nordmark
Filename : draft-ietf-shim6-proto-03.txt
Pages : 118
Date : 2005-12-21
The SHIM6 working group is specifying a layer 3 shim approach and
protocol for providing locator agility below the transport protocols,
so that multihoming can be provided for IPv6 with failover and load
spreading 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.

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.
