Ballot Text

Technical Summary
 
 This document lists security threats related to IPv6 multihoming.
 Multihoming can introduce new opportunities to redirect packets to
 different, unintended IP addresses.

 The intent is to look at how IPv6 multihoming solutions might make
 the Internet less secure than the current Internet, without studying
 any proposed solution but instead looking at threats that are
 inherent in the problem itself.  The threats in this document build
 upon the threats discovered and discussed as part of the Mobile IPv6
 work.

Working Group Summary
 
 This document is a product of the multi6 working group.
 
Protocol Quality
 
 David Kessens reviewed this document for the IESG.
