Shim6 is a multihoming protocol that has been designed by the IETF to suit the requirements of the new version of IP, IPv6. Currently BGP is used to provide multihomed connectivity to sites, but this technique is already now responsible for part of the growth of the BGP routing tables, and it could be even worth with the very long IPv6 addresses. This presentation explains the motivations that led to the design of Shim6, and goes through its functional and security challenges. We conclude with some open research areas.

Laurent Vanbever and Grégory Pardoen have received the Alcatel-Lucent innovation award for the MSc thesis entitled "Design et implémentation d'un logiciel de validation et de génération de configurations réseaux". A subset of this thesis has already been presented at INM2008.

In Europe, a large fraction of the Internet traffic is exchanged at interconnection points such as LINX in London, BNIX in Belgium, SFINX, in Paris. AMS-IX, based in Amsterdam is one of the oldest and the largest interconnection points in Europe.
