Dave,
I think we can handle this during IESG last call. Does anyone
oppose Dave's suggestion
below to update this statement according to RFC 4311 ?
Before answering the question, what would the exact change be to
draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-05.txt?
One consideration is that the update to 2661 is being submitted at
Draft standard and we need to be carefull to not make incompatible
changes. This probably not the case here, but I would like to see
the proposed text.
Thanks,
Bob
Thx,
Hesham

Subject: 2461bis and host-load-sharing
draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-05.txt says in 6.3.6:
An implementation may choose to always return the same router or
cycle through the router list in a round-robin fashion as long
as it always returns a reachable or a probably reachable router
when one is available.
However RFC 4311 (draft-ietf-ipv6-host-load-sharing-04.txt) updates
RFC 2461, is a Proposed Standard, and says:
[ND] ...
specifies that an implementation may always choose the same router
(e.g., the first in the list) or may cycle through the routers in
a round-robin manner. Both of these suggestions are problematic.
[...]
If 2461bis is intended to obsolete RFC 2461, then I think the
statement
in 6.3.6 should be updated to be in accordance with RFC 4311.
Otherwise
RFC 4311 will have to be republished to update 2461bis.
