Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I am just wandering what specification multihoming support in MIPL conforms to.
As far as I know there is no multihoming support in MIPv6 specifications. Is
it implementation specific or does it use other specifications?
As I can see on my testbeds MIPL failure recovery operates in a similar way to
SHIM6. does it use SHIM6? Please help me find answers to those questions.
