WG Charter (1) WG will consider how to multihome sites in IPv6. Multihoming approaches used in IPv4 can be used in IPv6, but IPv6 is an opportunity for more scalable approaches. IPv6 differs from IPv4 in ways that may allow for different approaches to multihoming that are not applicable to IPv4. IPv6 has larger addresses, hosts support multiple addresses per interface, and relatively few IPv6 address blocks have been given out (i.e., there are no issues with legacy allocations as in IPv4). Modest enhancements to IPv6 could still be proposed. RFC 3582 defines goals for IPv6 site multihoming. These goals are ambitious and some may conflict with others. Solution(s) may only be able to satisfy some of the goals. |
