Re: [mif] definition of a MIF host



Bonjour,

Désolé pour la réponse très tardive mais j'étais en congé après l'IETF.

En fait, la definition du "MIF host" est déjà compatible avec la définition monami6. La problématique MIF intervient dés que plusieurs adresses IP sont utilisées:

Extrait de la section 2:

A MIF host is defined as:
   o  a [RFC1122] IPv4 and/or [RFC4294] IPv6 compliant host
   o  configured with more than one IP addresses (excluding loopback,
      link-local)

Je pense donc qu'une référence au draft monami6 pourrait suffire. Je propose de modifier la section " 3.3. Mobility and other IP protocols" comme suit:

This document assumes hosts only implementing [RFC1122] for IPv4 and [RFC4294] for IPv6, and not using any kind of new transport protocols. If definition of MIF host presents similarities with multihomed nodes [ietf-monami6-multihoming-motivation-scenario], it is not required for the host to support additional IP mobility or multihoming protocols, such as SHIM6, SCTP, Mobile IP, HIP, RRG, LISP or else.  Moreover, the peer of the connection is also not required to use these mechanisms.

Autre possibilité: modifier la section 2:

A MIF host is defined as:
   o  a [RFC1122] IPv4 and/or [RFC4294] IPv6 compliant host
   o  as per [ietf-monami6-multihoming-motivation-scenario], a MIF host is configured with more than one IP addresses (excluding loopback, link-local) 

 
Commentaires?
