In your previous mail you wrote: I am looking into possible MIPv6 APIs as an extension to IPv6 Adv-API document. The following requirements in MIPv6 spec indicates that there is a need for Socket API which will allow the MIPv6 applications to choose COA as mobile node's source address...
=> the problem of this API is that it is not useful because nobody wants to change all applications to use it. So we need also a way to change the choice (or better, to choose in a clever way, for instance using the "distance" between the CoA prefix and the destination address) from the context of applications. I suggest this many times but it was rejected by address selection document author as out of the scope of the document... (this is one of the reasons I still believe to put the document on the standard track is an error). Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: we have to do the same thing for every rules not using the preference table. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
