exactly. that's rule 5.5 in RFC6724. when there are intermediate routers between the host and the border routers the routers need to use SADR (source address dependent routing). all we can do in the IETF is to write documents. I think RFC6724 is sufficient, but please correct me if I'm wrong. cheers, Ole _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
