Dear Lin, You bring interesting news to the table with your insight ...
IMHO any global mapping plane should be fully distributed with no root under any specific gov. Look at BGP protocol ... it does not require a root .. yet it allows to dynamically interconnect quite a few of global databases. Of course from 30 years back we now know much more modern ways to share information then via distance vector protocol. But none of those should be based on any politics controlling "the root" of it no matter which side it is on. /* Side comment .... */ When I spoke to some of the 5G folks this was clearly the direction and in fact Dino's LISP was one of the strongest candidates there as control plane. Best, Robert.
