Eliot;
I would accept your interpretation if you can go to a major search engine,
like Yahoo or Altavista, and find me in a brief period of time ANY version
of Mike O'Dell's 8+8 proposal.
You should really check archive of a big internet mailing list (does
someone know where it is archived?) for various 8+8 proposals
(including mine), some of which was available as IDs (thus, archive of
expired IDs are useful).
Mike's is the latest but the least useful one.
Don't you think it shameful that there is
no permanent record about a serious effort to deal with a serious problem
(multihoming)? And this is a recent (read: current) problem!
Handling of multihoming in Mike's draft is very old (even at the time
of his proposal) one.
As is briefly explained in <draft-ohta-e2e-multihoming-00.txt>, the
method violates the end to end principle and does not scale.
