I thought to repost my proposal from over 2 years ago on IPv6 mailing

was trying to get through..?

-------

It's not difficult to find even home users with multiple ISP
links. Both ISP's send RA's with different prefixes (A=1).

Host sees now two default routers on link and will have multiple
global addresses. By current rules, host can use either router for
outgoing packets regardless of the selected source address.

Not necessarily true. If the host implements the strong end system
model, it will choose the outgoing route regarding the selected source
address.

Interesting.
Could you give a reference where a definition you are using of the "strong end system model" is given?
Thanks.
