We have missed the delivery date by 14 years.

in April 2000 and I know it is stupid to use source routing for
multihoming. So, never deliver it.

All we need is transport/application layer capability to treat
multiple source and destination addresses and implementations
of such TCP has been available since 2003 or so, more than 14
years ago.

I am very suspicious of any claim about "all we need" in this area, but
I have written about this in some detail elsewhere:
