Architectural Approaches to Multi-homing for IPv6
RFC 4177, “Architectural Approaches to Multi-homing for IPv6”, is an Informational document published in September 2005 by G. Huston. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo provides an analysis of the architectural aspects of multi-homing support for the IPv6 protocol suite. The purpose of this analysis is to provide a taxonomy for classification of various proposed approaches to multi-homing. It is also an objective of this exercise to identify common aspects of this domain of study, and also to provide a framework that can allow exploration of some of the further implications of various architectural extensions that are intended to support multi-homing. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
