The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-enterprise-pa-multihoming/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding Section 7.3 and Section 1 paragraph: It may be desirable for an enterprise site to connect to multiple ISPs using provider-assigned (PA) addresses, instead of PI addresses. Multihoming with provider-assigned addresses is typically less expensive for the enterprise relative to using provider-independent addresses. PA multihoming is also a practice that should be facilitated and encouraged because it does not add to the size of the Internet routing table, whereas PI multihoming does. Note that PA is also used to mean "provider-aggregatable". In this document we assume that provider-assigned addresses are always provider- aggregatable. A possible addition here either in the above paragraph or at least in Section 7.3 that deploying enterprise PA based multi-homing solution actually benefits the usage of multi-path protocols as this ensures that the MP capable transport protocol get a well defined handle to something that likely lead to path diversity. So from my perspective, a working well enough PA based multi-homing solution benefits the deployment of multi-path protocols which in its turn makes the PA based multi-homing work even better than NATed or PI based ones. _______________________________________________ rtgwg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rtgwg
