Is it really that hard to engineer this solution? We do have several of them
proposed (SBGP, soBGP, etc) and new WG is likely to be formed soon
within IETF to finally work it out.
It'd be darn difficult to engineer a solution that would end up being
deployed in any reasonable time if we don't know the requirements
first. Yes, there's a draft -- draft-ietf-rpsec-bgpsecrec-03.txt --
but it has been woefully lacking on the operator & deployment
requirements. More people should participate in the effort.
