#5: only one default route? (there should be multiple, as for MIF WG)
Comment (by alexandru.petrescu@…):
I will write this down here so I have a trace.
I discussed 1aug2012 with a co-author and there seems to be strong
opposition to multiple default routes for the following reasons.
If a Host has several interfaces, then on each of these interfaces there
would be different responding DHCP Server that would allocate data
specific to that interface in particular. It would be not reasonable for
a DHCP Server answering to one interface of a Host to offer it
configuration information for the other interface.
An operator of both WiFi and 3G would deploy a different DHCP Server on
each of the access routers of 3G and of WiFi (and would not use same DHCP
Server to configure the cellular interface and the WiFi interface of the
same Host).
If you have two default routes in the same host then how to decide which
is _the_ default route? This is bad because it is difficult to decide so.
Source-based routing is not good (I forgot why).
