I don’t think homenet has any special requirements with regards to ECMP. I think it has been assumed that will work like in any other network. I certainly expect the homenet to support ECMP. (parallel wireless links may be a bad example though, as they are probably quite unlikely to be equal.) the main items of discussion in a homenet context is load balancing across multiple providers. in the IPv6 multi-prefix multi-homing architecture load balancing is done by the hosts, not by the network. cheers, Ole
