All,
here are my slides from the unscheduled talk at the interim meeting.
Comments appreciated, and if anyone were so inclined, help writing it up
would also be much appreciated.
Lorenzo,
The slides say:
"Support arbitrary topologies including loops"
What is the implication of that on IPv4?
Are you assuming that the dual-stack home network will delegate IPv4
prefixes and route IPv4, with no internal NATs?
How would someone transition to such an IPv4 network from their current
daisy-chain or tree of IPv4 NATs?
The other question is about the assumptions about the requirements of
stability of the prefixes that are assigned to links.
For routing you have:
- Survive loss of any router for any time period
- Works regardless of router boot order
That combined with your strawman prefix assignment seems to result in
the set of prefixes assigned to a link changing each time a router goes
down. Am I reading things correctly?
FWIW such an unstable prefix assignment doesn't sound useful. Assuming
we allow routers to come and go, I think we want the hosts assigned to a
link see the same prefixes for that link over time.
Erik
