Re: [Status] Summary of STATUS BOF and the next steps

[Mark Townsley <[e-mail]>]

For those who might not be aware, the homenet WG has been actively working on "source and destination routing" (SADR) techniques to solve the routing problem facing a multi-router, multi-homed, multi-prefix, IPv6 home network:

A few refs:

draft-troan-homenet-sadr
draft-baker-ipv6-ospf-dst-src-routing
draft-baker-ipv6-isis-dst-src-routing
draft-boutier-homenet-source-specific-routing
draft-baker-rtgwg-src-dst-routing-use-cases

We're working with the ADs on where to advance this, including the possibility of the rtgwg (hence baker's rtgwg document listed above). Whatever ends up coming out of homenet, rtgwg, and the WG that is forming here, we should aim to be very clear what is what.
