This adds additional complexity, though, and there is still a timeout, although it isn't a full TCP SYN timeout. Or, on top of that, how traffic engineering can be performed with shim6..For outgoing traffic there is no difference with the current situation (as long as there are nog ingress filtering issues). For incoming traffic, it basically starts with DNS load balancing, and the shim itself will have priority mechanisms to choose between different address pairs but this will generally not come into play because the idea is that the shim doesn't do anything unless there is an outage. And people wonder why more "content" isn't available for v6. Maybe whenSo how is that going to help? The whole idea behind shim6 is that we can't give people all the independent address blocks that they may possibly ask for. So where were you the past years in multi6 and months in shim6? Please be part of the solution and not part of the problem. (That goes for John Payne and Daniel Senie too.)(firmly in the shim6 does not adress *most* of the issues camp) I'll be happy to continue any and all discussions of multihoming in IPv6 off-list, but having them on the NANOG list doesn't seem to be very productive.
