Those hosts are not broken. They work fine in single-homed edge networks, which are ubiquitous. The deployment of multiple heterogenous default routers with hosts that expect networks to be single-homed is what breaks the network. Also, rule 5.5 of RFC 6724 is inadequate. Hosts that implement it should work better than those that don't because new flows created after the primary default router becomes unreachable should automatically go to the next available default router, but existing flows will still be broken in the absence of the kind of coordination I described previously. -- james woodyatt <[email protected]> core os networking _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
