For example, a home network could have routers attached to different broadband providers, with different bandwidth and different connectivity characteristics. Rémi, you may believe that this is a configuration error, but it is only an error because our protocols do not handle that configuration very well. I would expect MIF to address the problem and suggest fixes... -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
