What *is* the current state of affairs concerning multihoming
solutions?
There are a number of types of solutions on the table. There are a
number of more detailed proposals. There is no consensus on any of this
(yet). The multi6 WG of IETF is having the first meeting in a long time
at the Vienna IETF meeting. One of the goals of this meeting is to try
and get consensus (if not before the meeting) on what solution
class/space/type we are looking at. If nothing else, at least manage to
trim the tracks down to fewer.
As for timeline. Hard to say. We could adopt a interim solution that
would most likely stop work on a permanent one again until the pain
level rise again. We could also simply work on a permanent solution.
This will take at least a year. Then we need to get protocols
done...and then we need to get it implemented and deployed. In best
case. 4-5 years. Worst case 10?
