i have sympathy for this. but there is too much experience with things designed for the LAN ending up on the WAN. hence melinda's concern for security, mine for mtu, etc. but this is a good start for a discussion. there has been need for something in this space since before dirt was invented. and there have been a number of tries. i am willing to keep reading and to have useless opinions. randy _______________________________________________ OPSAWG mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsawg
