The original IPv6 conceptual sending algorithm does not do
load sharing among equivalent IPv6 routers, and suggests
schemes that can be problematic in practice.  This document
updates the conceptual sending algorithm in RFC 2461 so that traffic
to different destinations can be distributed among routers in an
efficient fashion. 

This document is a product of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
