#5: only one default route? (there should be multiple, as for MIF WG)

One default route per source prefix in use makes perfect sense, in view of the need for address pair selection and ingress-filtering avoidance. (When I think about it, a default route even makes sense for a ULA prefix.) No, multiple default routes make sense even when they're not source- specific. For example, they make sense when you have two routers and one of them can go down. Remember that a route includes a next-hop, and that RFC 4861 defines a default router list (which is a list of possible next- hops for the default route). _______________________________________________ mif mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mif -- -------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: alexandru.petrescu@… | Owner: Alexandru Petrescu Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: milestone1 Component: dhcpv6-route-option | Version: Severity: In WG Last Call | Resolution: Keywords: multiple default routes | -------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/mif/trac/ticket/5#comment:8> mif <http://tools.ietf.org/mif/> _______________________________________________ mif mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mif
