In the page you mention:

Strategy B
This is the elimination class of proposals.  Any such proposal requires 
new host functions, including changes to host stacks, APIs and 
applications.  Strategy B solutions do not not require changes to the 
interdomain routing system or to the rest of the network, except 
perhaps improvements to DNS.

No-one is suggesting such a solution for IPv4 - they are all 
modifications to IPv6.  This is due, in part, to the lack of IPv4 
address space required for this technique, in which each multihomed 
end-user network has a block of space from each upstream ISP, of the 
same size as its network's address space.

ILNP is one such proposal, I think.  HIP may be another.  However 
neither of these is fully documented as a solution to the routing 
scaling problem.

SHIM6 may match this class, but it does not provide proper multihoming, 
with ease of choosing a new ISP, as we are trying to achieve with a 
scalable routing solution.


MB> Shim6 does not requires changes in the APIs nor in the 
applications. So under the definition included in the page, SHIM6 is 
not a strategy B proposal.. Second, i certainly don't agree with the 
statement that shim6 does not provides multihoming.
In addition, i think ProxyShim6 is likely to fit in a strategy B proposal.
Finally, there are tons of geo aggregation proposals, since Deering's 
metro addressing, IXP based addressing, Iljitsch geo addressing.
