Re: IPv6 /64 links (was Re: ipv6 book recommendations?)

The only solution is, IMO, to let multihomed sites have
multiple prefixes inherited from their upper ISPs, still
keeping the sites' ability to control loads between incoming
multiple links.

And for the basement multi-homers, RA / SLAAC makes this much easier to do with v6.  The larger-scale / more 
mission-critical multi-homers are going to consume an AS and some BGP space whether you like it or not - at least with 
v6 there's a really good chance that they'll only *ever* need to announce a single-prefix.  (Ignore "traffic 
engineering" pollution, but that doesn't get better or worse).

Regards,
Tim.
