The intent is to look at how IPv6 multihoming solutions might makethe Internet less secure; we examine threats that are inherent toall IPv6 multihoming solutions rather than study any specificproposed solution. The threats in this document buildupon the threats discovered and discussed as part of the Mobile IPv6 work. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
