Informing a remote mapping function about locator alternatives is just
one out of three mechanisms that are necessary.  As said in my previous
email, you also need...

- a provider selection mechanism locally in an edge network that
monitors provider connections and decides when it is time to switch, and

- a mapping update mechanism that tells remote mapping functions /when/
to switch to /which/ alternative locator.

These two additional mechanisms are the ones most critical in terms of
delay and packet loss.  I attended to this more in my previous email.
