I'm not sure if that rule could be enforced. If a node keeps on sending to home address, it's a problem for the home network, but not for the sender. Is there a business reason for honouring an optimization? Why would a "free" ad-driven service (e.g. sports news) care about the well being of someone else's network? Why should it put effort in the authentication computations, if there is no benefit for itself? -- Lassi -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
