Re: OK, shim6, if we must [Re: [RAM] Ivip (was ViP ...)]



Robin,

Then what if the central control point has to change?  All the
hundreds or thousands of hosts need to be reconfigured.

That is a strong argument for making the central mechanism self-deploying (whether it's done via DHCP, a routing protocol, or however). Since we already have to spread RFC 3484 policy from a central point in large enterprises, spreading shim6 policy is really not a new problem.

But as I noted just now, I hope this can be avoided. Shim6
was really designed for the ten million small multihomed
sites, not for the ten thousand big ones.

...
So I don't think that we should expect SHIM6 alone to solve the
problem of encouraging widespread adoption of IPv6 without PI
space for AS-end-users.

We agree on that. I've always expected the big users to have PI prefixes by one method or another.
