[NANOG] Multi-ipv6 support (multi-router, multi-interface, multi-prefix) IETF draft

Hi,

I have posted a revision of draft-gont-v6ops-multi-ipv6. This document contains the problem statement regarding the support of multiple routers, multiple interfaces, and multiple prefixes by IPv6 hosts.

This revision polishes the text quite a bit, and incorporates two "failure" scenarios that should be supported, such that if you have a working set {source address, next-hop, RDNSS), you can survive network outages.

HTMLized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-gont-v6ops-multi-ipv6

Your comments will be very appreciated!

Thanks,
Fernando

Title: Problem Statement about IPv6 Support for Multiple Routers, Multiple Interfaces, and Multiple Prefixes
Date:     2025-03-03
Group:    Individual Submission
Pages:    15
URL:      https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-v6ops-multi-ipv6-02.txt
Status:   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-v6ops-multi-ipv6/

Diff: https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url2=draft-gont-v6ops-multi-ipv6-02

Abstract:

   This document discusses current limitations in IPv6 Stateless Address
   Auto-configuration (SLAAC) that prevent support for common multi-
   router, multi-interface, and multi-prefix scenarios.  It provides
   discussion on the challenges that these scenarios represent, and why
   a solution in this space is warranted.  Finally, it specifies a
   number of common scenarios that any solution in this space should be
   able to address.
