   Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) works well for conserving
   global addresses and addressing multihoming requirements, because an
   IPv4 NAPT router implements three functions: source address
   selection, next-hop resolution and optionally DNS resolution.  For
   IPv6 hosts one approach could be the use of NPTv6.  However, NAT
   should be avoided, if at all possible, to permit transparent end-to-
   end connectivity.  In this document, we analyze the use cases of
   multihoming.  We also describe functional requirements and possible
   solutions for multihoming without the use of NAT in IPv6 for hosts
   and small IPv6 networks that would otherwise be unable to meet
   minimum IPv6 allocation criteria.  We conclude that DHCPv6 based
   solutions are suitable to solve the multihoming issues, which
   described in this document.  Nevertheless, we mention that the
   possible needs for NPTv6 in the transition phase to the fully
   deployment of the proposed solutions.
