Of course, having only (a) would be ideal. But, this would work only if the whole address allocation is turned upside down: - you don't get addresses from your ISP, everyone/every site is automaticly entitled to unique global address range. When one makes a contract with ISP about route, the ISP will make it packets with these addresses flow correctly. - of course, any random address generation won't scale. But, the proposals for generating unique addresses from geographical position coordinates might be one way, and might scale. So, let's scrap the current address allocation and just define rules how to generate address from location (and maybe need a floor number, or height for buildings.. :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
