Public thanks to Dave, Geoff, Vijay, Ted and Jason for their
involvement in bringing shim6 to the NANOG conference.

The messages I heard were:

1) Traffic engineering, traffic engineering and traffic engineering
    - do NOT put this in the hands of the end system, this needs to
be site level, or at the very least the site needs to be able to
override the end system's decisions.

2) The first hit is of critical importance to content providers (many
of whom couldn't legitimately justify a /32). Hunting through DNS to
find a locator that works won't fly.

3) It was good to hear in a widespread forum that shim6 is not
expected to be THE only multihoming solution. However, we were left
uninformed as to where the other work is going on.

  Thanks. I'd also like to thank Geoff, Jason, Vijay, Ted,
  and everyone to participated in the BOF. I found the
  session to be quite productive, and I hope that it will
  form the foundation for an ongoing dialog. The IAB is
  hoping to do the next IAB "BOF" at APRICOT, so with any
  luck, see you all there.

  Thanks again all,

  Dave

I was hoping to have all of this streamed to my computer, but so far, there are no archived streams... Aren't there any archived streams anymore, or does it take some more time for them to appear?

The latter. We're processing the streams now, and they should be available next week.
