Ballot Text

Technical Summary

The original IPv6 conceptual sending algorithm does not do load-
sharing among equivalent IPv6 routers, and suggests schemes which
can be problematic in practice.  This document updates the
conceptual sending algorithm so that traffic to different
destinations can be distributed among routers in an efficient
fashion.

The IPv6 working group has done extensive review of this document and
this document reflects the consensus of the group.

Protocol Quality

This document has been reviewed by members of the ipv6@ietf.org
mailing list and by the working group chairs.

This document was reviewed for the IESG by Margaret Wasserman.
