Couldn't find this being mentioned before, but I think it would be preferable if this section:
,---- | 3. Routing Considerations | | Keyed Hash Identifiers are designed to serve as identifiers rather | than locators. Therefore, routers SHOULD NOT forward any packets | containing a KHI as a source or a destination address. If the | destination address is a KHI but the source address is a valid | unicast source address, an ICMP Destination Unreachable, | Administratively Prohibited message MAY be generated. | | Note that while KHIs are designed to be non-routable at the IP layer, | there are ongoing research efforts for creating overlay routing for | these kinds of identifiers. For example, the Host Identity | Indirection Infrastructure (Hi3) proposal outlines a way for using a | Distributed Hash Table to forward HIP packets based on the Host | Identity Tag. `---- was rewritten a lot more like RFC3849 (IPv6 Docu Prefix), Section 3 Operational Implications. And, for example, added to: http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html There's kinda a lot of routers already deployed...
