Hi Jason, > Can you please explain the benefits of having an ISATAP host connect to > multiple ISATAP routers?

At present, I see no benefit for an ISATAP node to affiliate with more than one ISATAP router. If any such benefits exist, I am sure they will be identified by the design team studies. However, I think it perfectly reasonable for a host to know about multiple *candidate* ISATAP routers; even if it only affiliates with one at a time. (Sort of like "Candidate Access Router discovery" in the Seamoby group). Please check my recent submission entitled "Proposed Solutions for ISATAP Operational Issues" under "Operational issue #5". You need to cross reference this document against the isatap-05 document, which you may need to pull from my webserver *again* if you are not seeing a proper matchup with the solutions document. (I made a mistake in the original posting and had to post a new version.) Fred
