I'm investigating how to setup multihoming for IPv6 over two DSL lines (different ISPs), and I wanted to see if this wheel has already been invented. Has anyone already set this up or tested it ?
In this environment, BGP exchanges with uplink ISPs for multihoming usually is not an option. One reason maybe cost, another reason maybe ISP doesn't like to setup BGP with a DSL customer. At least in my case, reason #2 always prevent my customers to setup BGP with uplink ISPs.
Agreed. Very common situation.
As Seth pointed out SHIM6 is still an academic exercise
Another Locator / ID separator protocol is LISP. The advantage is that you don't need to change the host but only the CPE. I've been using it to multi-home my house and it works fine. I'm multihoming my IPv6 /48 over a v6-only DSL and a v4-only FTTH connection. More information about LISP be found here: http://www.lisp4.net/ Kind regards, Job Snijders
