Hi Danny,
Any comments? Regards, Seil Jeon From: dmm [mailto:dmm-boun...@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Seil Jeon Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 8:08 PM To: dmm@ietf.org Subject: [DMM] Answer on raised questions for the proposed API Hi, I could attend DMM Thursday meeting via MeetEcho. I could also hear some raised comments by Danny and Someone. Here goes answers to the raised questions. First, regarding the need of the proposed API (IPV6_PREFER_SRC_NEW), The use of the proposed API is suggested in the SUSTAINED IP address case in the draft. On receiving this API with the SUSTAINED IP address type at the IP stack, it will try to get a new SUSTAINED IP address if there is no available in the currently attached access network. So, actual obtaining of the IP address will be tried one time while attached at a specific access network. Even some applications put this API after, the already obtained SUSTAINED IP will be used. So, no worries about abuse. Second question sounded to me like that this API is not needed because the host can get a new SUSTAINED IP address, right? If the question is right, I don't understand what the question is meant, that is how the host can get a new SUSTAINED IP address? Based on the definition of three types of IP address, an application should show its requirement with an API among them. If it is the SUSTAINED IP address, how do we expect the IP stack will try to get a new SUSTAINED IP address? Besides, the propsoed API is not used alone but with the three type APIs.
