We are not talking IGP registry or multicast computation registry or SR registry then but a "wider scope registry". Yes, that is an intriguing thought with its own validity but outside the scope of charter we're under as BIER. Personally, I consider multiple, if needed loosely coupled registries for each technology a less centralized and hence "more Internet like" solution but I see how opinions on such a thing can diverge ... thanks --- tony > >
