Title : Host-Centric IPv6 Multihoming

A way to solve the issue of site multihoming is to have a separate
site prefix for each connection of the site, and to derive
corresponding addresses for each host. This approach to multi-
homing, which we call Host-Centric IPv6 Multihoming, has the
advantage of minimal impact on the inter-domain routing fabric,
since each site prefix can be aggregated within the larger prefix of
a specific provider; however, it opens a number of issues. We
analyze in detail the problem created by the interaction between
ingress filtering and multihoming. We then propose a set of specific
solutions that enable host centric multihoming, and we review how
these solutions meet the requirements of IPv6 site multihoming.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
