AFAIU, you are essentially proposing to perform source address based routing by the hosts and by the routers in a multiprefix site, is that correct?

I don't like the term, because I first do a destination lookup and only look up the source address in certain cases.

i understand that it is done when the destination is off site and there are multiple routes to the external destination. So in a regular multihomed site that accept default routes from each ot its ISPs, basically, source address dependent routing is performed for all packets with an external destination, right?

Kind of like the previous comment on source routing, which in IEEE 802.5, DSR, and RFC 791 IP means that the source specifies all or part of the routing path. I think the term mis-states the case.


agree, that is why i normally use Source address dependent routing instead of source routing

But yes, in certain cases where there is a multipath route, the point is that if the datagram is handed to the wrong ISP and the ISP is doing ingress filtering, the datagram will be dropped, and hence I suggest that we direct it toward the right ISP.

right


Is there something wrong with that?

i don't know....

I have proposed a very similar thing in http://tools.ietf.org/id/ draft-ietf-shim6-ingress-filtering-00.txt

but it got quite some push back and we finally dropped it from the shim6 wg. I would be interested to continue working on this,

regards, marcelo


Would you prefer it be dropped as it leaves the site? Would you prefer that the matter be indeterminate?
