Failure Detection and Locator Pair Exploration Protocol for IPv6 Multihoming
RFC 5534, “Failure Detection and Locator Pair Exploration Protocol for IPv6 Multihoming”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2009 by J. Arkko, I. van Beijnum. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies how the level 3 multihoming Shim6 protocol (Shim6) detects failures between two communicating nodes. It also specifies an exploration protocol for switching to another pair of interfaces and/or addresses between the same nodes if a failure occurs and an operational pair can be found. [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.
