You mean in some 5-10 years? When finally the many folks who even struggle to implement TCP properly manage to implement some one or even two (newest idea of the shim6 folks) shim layers into the stack and get that deployed widely? I don't see that. But I think the discussion is mood. IETF decided on their goal, and it's superfluous trying to change that. While watching shim6 we carry on hoping that we'll get IPv6 multihoming going in the conventional, proven, working, feature-complete way we're used to... until IETF perhaps at one point in time realize that they are designing a solution which misses the stated requirements of many folks actually operating networks - and start working on a solution which actually solves the preceived problem of scalability in a way operators look forward in deploying. And looking at the IPv6 allocation lists, I see that some of the folks' employers involved in shim6 developement actually have got their own allocations (and even leak more-specifics in geopgraphic distinct locations for traffic engineering). Looks like they couldn't convice even their own IT folks that shim6 or anything else will fix their problem (feature wise and/or timeline wise). Sorry for being so politically incorrect to spell out in open words what a lot of folks out there think. I'm wearing my asbestos anyway. :-) Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr () cluenet de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
