Re: [v6ops] Updating RFC 7084

Hi all,

I do not understand how DHCP-PD may be used for prefix distribution inside the site.
Because uplink could go down.
Should be some signaling to all routers on site that the prefix is not available anymore (and should be deprecated on all links).
But DHCP is stateless in principle.
This "flush renumbering problem" would be pretty difficult to fix.
It would kill MHMP completely.

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).

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).
