Agreed. > Is there any reason to believe that we _can_ actually find > a scalable way to route to "portable" PI addresses? Not at this time I'm afraid; we do have a draft for globally routing geographical addresses but it is not scalable long-term; a transition mechanism, or a fail-safe. I mentioned PI addresses earlier as identifiers in a dual space identifier/locator solution. They would be routable locally and between sites, but not globally (or limited routing). > It seems like we may need some consultation/cooperation > between the multi6 group and the IPv6 group, to see if > we can come up with a full solution to provide scalable, > routable PI addresses. Multi6 is not chartered to develop solutions. This point has been made in Atlanta again. The development of multihoming solutions has moved outside the IETF a year ago.
