Hello, This draft proposes, among other things, that Routers send prefix/nexthop couples in the RA, towards a multi-interfaced Host.
This would allow the Host to install specific routes, and subsequently to select the nexthop based on the destination prefix. A similar mechanism is proposed in vehicular communications, where two nearby vehicles exchange their prefix/nexthop using RA (Router-to-Router communications, not Router-to-Host). Some of these RA-based prefix exchanges are considered at some SDO, and why not at IETF as well. Although Router-to-Router is not the same as Router-to-Host, one legitimately wonders whether this is not the same concept. Given this perspective of industry interest, I wonder the following: - what particular industry has interest in the mechanism of draft-sarikaya-6man-rfc4191bis-00.txt? - where to discuss this is most appropriate: in an IPv6-specific group? in a vehicular-specific group? in a multi-interfaced specific group? Maybe a cross-group review would be valuable? Yours, Alex Le 08/07/2013 19:06, Behcet Sarikaya a écrit :

Filename: draft-sarikaya-6man-rfc4191bis Revision: 00 Title: IPv6 RA Options for Next Hop Routes Creation date: 2013-07-08 Group: Individual Submission Number of pages: 15 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-sarikaya-6man-rfc4191bis-00.txt
Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sarikaya-6man-rfc4191bis
Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sarikaya-6man-rfc4191bis-00 Abstract: This proposes an update on RFC 4191 in order to define new Router Advertisement options for configuring next hop routes on the mobile or fixed nodes. Using these options, an operator can easily configure nodes with multiple interfaces (or otherwise multi-homed) to enable them to select the routes to a destination. Each option is defined together with definitions of host and router behaviors. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
