I do not see the difficulty. We already have the IPv6 mechanisms to advertise the prefixes. And we have the IPv6 mechanisms for hosts to combne the prefixes with teir IDs. We also have the dynamic DNS mechanisms (with security) needed to advertise the results.

With ILP, these combinations can be changed during sessions, and traffic can change paths during sessions without impact. With the current architecture, sessions can not change paths, and changes to the connectivity are hard to discover or utilize.

Thee are other multi-homing problems that are not solved. Working out how to manage prefix assignments in an enterprise when external assignments change is one example of such issues (LISP takes a different tack, and thus the costs and benefits are different.)

    Not necessarily. If the DNS only contains IDs (which is the way some
    designs
    work), then there no DNS/locator issues.


The description on servers in Sec. 4.1 of ILNP, p. 20, implies that.

The DNS concern is, however, a secondary thing. That a host has to be
associated with multiple PA locators inserted by multiple ISPs at ILNP
multi-homing is the real problem I'm pointing to. This is exactly the
same situation you might require with the current IP.

Where's the improvement on multi-homing? If there's no such improvement,
have we solve the table explosion problem?
