This document specifies a set of questions that authors should be
prepared to answer as part of a solution to multihoming with IPv6.
The questions do not assume that multihoming is the only problem of
interest, nor do they demand a more general solution.

This document is a product of the Site Multihoming in IPv6 Working
Group of the IETF.

RFC 4218 on Threats Relating to IPv6 Multihoming Solutions


A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.

        RFC 4218

        Title:      Threats Relating to IPv6 Multihoming Solutions
        Author(s):  E. Nordmark, T. Li
        Status:     Informational
        Date:       October 2005
        Mailbox:    erik.nordmark <at> sun.com, Tony.Li <at> tony.li

        I-D Tag:    draft-ietf-multi6-multihoming-threats-03.txt

        URL:        ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4218.txt

This document lists security threats related to IPv6 multihoming.
Multihoming can introduce new opportunities to redirect packets to
different, unintended IP addresses.

The intent is to look at how IPv6 multihoming solutions might make
the Internet less secure; we examine threats that are inherent to
all IPv6 multihoming solutions rather than study any specific
proposed solution.  The threats in this document build
upon the threats discovered and discussed as part of the Mobile IPv6
work.

Closing of the multi6 working group


Hi,

After consulation with the working group chairperson, I would like to
close the multi6 working group as all milestones are now completed. 

In addition, I don't see much reason to keep the mail list since an
active mail list (shim6 mail list) is available.

Please let me know if you don't agree by the end of the day, Nov 30,
2005 (pick your favorite timezone ;-)).

Finally, I would like to thank the working group for successfully
completing all the milestones! I sincerely hope that the shim6 effort
that is now well underway will result in a workable solution for many
sites that are interested in multi-homing their networks.
