So just in case this is a simple misunderstanding and not a new protocol proposal, what I said in my earlier message is that you don't need any sort of recursive setup. The requesting router on the CPE, which gets a prefix that can be subdivided (i.e., not a /64) only ever gives out /64s downstream. Any router on the net, regardless of where they are in the topology, gets prefixes from the CPE device with the big prefix, not from intermediate routers. Intermediate routers that get /64 prefixes (which is how they know they are intermediate routers!) do not delegate—they relay to their delegating router if they get a PD from downstream. I don't think there are actually any problems with this topology that require new protocol specs—I think this is purely an ops decision. IOW, you could do this now with RFC3633. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
