IPv6 Host-to-Router Load Sharing
RFC 4311, “IPv6 Host-to-Router Load Sharing”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2005 by R. Hinden, D. Thaler. It updates RFC 2461. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The original IPv6 conceptual sending algorithm does not do load sharing among equivalent IPv6 routers, and suggests schemes that can be problematic in practice. This document updates the conceptual sending algorithm in RFC 2461 so that traffic to different destinations can be distributed among routers in an efficient fashion. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
