IPv4 Multihoming Motivation, Practices and Limitations (v03) |
|
Description: Multihoming is an essential component of service for many sites which
are part of the Internet. This document describes some
implementation strategies for multihoming with IPv4 and enumerates
features for comparison with other multihoming proposals
(particularly those related to IPv6).

Things MULTI6 Developers should think about (v01) |
|
Description: This document specifies a set of questions that authors should be
prepared to answer as part of a solution to multihoming with IPv6.
The questions do not assume that multihoming is the only problem of
interest, nor do they demand a more general solution either. |

Threats relating to IPv6 multihoming solutions (v03) |
|
Description: This document lists security threats related to IPv6 multihoming.
Multihoming can introduce new opportunities to redirect packets to
different, unintended IP addresses.
The intent is to look at how IPv6 multihoming solutions might make
the Internet less secure than the current Internet, without studying
any proposed solution but instead looking at threats that are
inherent in all IPv6 multihoming solutions. The threats in this
document build upon the threats discovered and discussed as part of
the Mobile IPv6 work.

Architectural Approaches to Multi-Homing for IPv6 (v04) |
|
Description: 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.

Hash Based Addresses (HBA) (v00) |
|
Description: This memo describes a mechanism to provide a secure binding between
the multiple addresses with different prefixes available to a host
within a multihomed site. The main idea is that information about
the multiple prefixes is included within the addresses themselves.
This is achieved by generating the interface identifiers of the
addresses of a host as hashes of the available prefixes and a random
number. Then, the multiple addresses are generated by prepending the
different prefixes to the generated interface identifiers. The
result is a set of addresses, called Hash Based Addresses (HBAs),
that are inherently bound.

Multihoming L3 Shim Approach (v00) |
|
Description: This document specifies a particular approach to IPv6 multihoming.
The approach is based on using a multi6 shim placed between the IP
endpoint sublayer and the IP routing sublayer, and, at least
initially, using routable IP locators as the identifiers visible
above the shim layer. The approach does not introduce a "stack name"
type of identifier, instead it ensures that all upper layer protocols
can operate unmodified in a multihomed setting while still seeing a
stable IPv6 address.

Multi6 Application Referral Issues (v00) |
|
Description: In order to fully solve the scalable multihoming problem there is a
need to separate the current IP address functionality into
identifiers (which are used to identify e.g., TCP connections) and
locators which are used to forward packets in the routing system.
Such a separation has an impact on the current use of IP address in
the application layer.
This document presents these issues for the purposes of stimulating
discussions.

Failure Detection and Locator Selection in Multi6 (v00) |
|
Description: This draft discusses locator pair selection and failure detection
mechanisms for the IPv6 multihoming feature being developed in the
Multi6 working group. Elements of this document may also be useful
for developing the details of the MOBIKE or HIP multihoming
mechanisms. The draft also discusses the roles of a multihoming
protocol versus network attachment functions at IP and link layers. |

Functional decomposition of the M6 protocol (v00) |
|
Description: In this note we will present a functional decomposition of the M6
protocol i.e. the protocol for preserving established communications
in multihomed environments. We will do so by describing a protocol
walkthrough, presenting which functions have to be performed at each
stage and the messages required to accomplish them. The functional
decomposition presented in this draft is based on the general
functional analysis of multihoming approaches presented in [3].
