draft-ohta-e2e-multihoming-00.txt
is dated April 2000.
And, according to IETF rules, because of its age: obsolete ?
Current most one is of version 02.

And, now, there even is a multi6 WG of IETF.
Cool, lets see what they can disagree on in a couple of years...
IETF process is so quick that you can see it already. :-)
Load-balancing means different things to different people...
So is multihoming.
But that doesn't change the fact that people will still want a solution now, that neither "go to IPv6" nor "wait for IPv6" will satisfy them and that ISP's who are able to meet this demand will make more money than ISP's who can't...
Huh? It's you who asked about IPv6. Anyway, I think we will use up IPv4 address space before IPv4-style multihoming kills the backbone. It will happen within 3 years. A good news is that, not wating multi6 WG conclude, end-to-end multihoming will be implemented this year and used for commercial service (IPv4 service will, of course, continue) thanks to funding from Japanese Goverment.
