Again, I didn't ask for "the answer." I asked for a description of what we want in a routing protocol that isn't so prescriptive. There's a lot of prescriptive stuff in there, and the reason that the particular paragraph you are proposing we remove got added was to counterbalance it. E.g., why is there a paragraph about all the routers knowing the whole topology of the network? Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but why is it specified? If we don't know what we want, this bit seems awfully specific. If we do know what we want, why not say what we want? I think the right answer is to take out more text, but I'm not okay with just taking out the particular paragraph you mentioned, or I would not have asked for the working group's help on this. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
