EID space is not globally routed (or routable, which is different) but it is globally allocated, so you need some structure to manage allocation, including universally agreed on policies for initial allocations, further allocations, revocation, and more. Is there a better organization than the RIRs for all that? The activities around routing are derivative from the fundamental reasons for the RIRs' existence. "Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are nonprofit corporations that administer and register Internet Protocol (IP) address space and Autonomous System (AS) numbers within a defined region. RIRs also work together on joint projects." Scott _______________________________________________ lisp mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lisp
