You may be interested to review http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-troan-multihoming-without-nat66 "IPv6 Multihoming without Network Address Translation", Ole Troan, David Miles, Satoru Matsushima, Tadahisa Okimoto, Dan Wing, 26-Jul-10 The question of multihoming with or without NAT66 (specifically referring to this draft) was brought up by a large residential access provider, who given current solutions sees NAT66 as the only solution to its *residential* problems. Basically, the point of the draft is to describe their scenario and state that they need solutions to three residential problems or they will consider themselves as having no alternative to NAT66. _______________________________________________ nat66 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nat66
