Your recent I-D's (RANGER, VET, SEAL), when combined, naturally suggest recursive deployments. In recursion, the concepts "edge" and "core" are local to a specific recursive instance. For example, map-and-encaps solutions can be implemented in a recursive manner. In such a system, edge and core are concepts which are local to a specific recursive instance. Given this, a provider-aggregated matrix could only be visible if it occurred within the context of a specific recursive instance -- it would be transparent to any other recursive instance, right? _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
