A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 3178 Title: IPv6 Multihoming Support at Site Exit Routers Author(s): J. Hagino, H. Snyder Status: Informational Date: October 2001 Mailbox: itojun@iijlab.net, hal@vailsys.com Pages: 12 Characters: 24453 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-2260-02.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3178.txt The document describes a mechanism for basic IPv6 multihoming support, and its operational requirements. Unlike currently-practiced IPv4 multihoming, the technique does not impact the worldwide routing table size, nor IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) routing table size in upstream ISPs. The mechanism can be combined with more sophisticated (or complex) multihoming support mechanisms, and can be used as a foundation for other mechanisms. The document is largely based on RFC 2260 by Tony Bates. This document is a product of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
