This host identifier could be used by a remote server to sort packets according to the sending host. The host identifier must be unique to each host under the same shared IP address.\n\n This document analyzes a set of potential solutions for revealing a host identifier and does not recommend a particular solution, although it does highlight the hazards of some approaches.", "pub_date": "June 2013", "keywords": [ "NAT", "Host Identifier" ], "obsoletes": [], "obsoleted_by": [], "updates": [], "updated_by": [], "see_also": [], "doi": "10.17487/RFC6967", "errata_url": null }
