Re: [v6ops] Updating RFC 7084

Regarding to multi-homing, home users have no needs for multi-homing, which provides access by two wireline uplinks of different operators.  Independent 4G/5G mobile broadband has gradually become the backup of home broadband, some users even prefer to use use mobile link to access the Internet at home.

As a historical note, we've spent a lot of time in the past on multi-homing
and more or less failed (and the HOMENET approach was designed for home nets,
not for enterprises where the problem is probably more important).

I
To summarise what I've said over on SNAC:

1. If we're going to mention PvDs in the 7084 update, I think we should
also mention RFC 8028. It isn't that a CE router should necessarily
support 8028, but that in a network that does implement 8028 on its subnet
routers, the following part of 8028 applies:

2.2.  Expectations of Multihomed Networks

    Networking equipment needs to support source/destination routing for
    at least some of the routes in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB),
    such as default egress routes differentiated by source prefix.
    Installation of source/destination routes in the FIB might be
    accomplished using static routes, Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
    technologies, or dynamic routing protocols.

Those egress routes of course lead to CE routers.

(There is some other thinking about this topic in draft-vv-6man-nd-support-mhmp).
