Well, I've not followed all of the homenet discussions on this PD-story, but I see a lot of referral to OSPF (v3), so it seems to be assumed that all these CPEs must "talk" OSPF ? I think lots of them in the field today are low-end, low memory devices, hence probably 1. no OSPF will be present and 2. Calculating SP might put quite some pressure on its capabilities, no ?
I might be wrong on this one, so please disregard if this comment is not applicable.

Just to be clear here, my original point was never that we should switch and use DHCP PD within the homenet. It was simply that DHCP PD would work for delegating prefixes in the homenet, and that the sub-delegation problem isn't actually a problem. If OSPF in fact solves the name aggregation problem, that's great, but I don't think it's quite and cut and dried as you are saying, and so I wanted to make sure that the limitations of DHCP PD were not being misunderstood. I suspect that there might be some value in a combination of DHCP PD and OSPF, but if OSPF really delivers all the functionality of DHCP PD, then maybe I'm wrong. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
