From draft-meyer-loc-id-implications-00.txt, as posted to the IRTF Routing RG list, in Section 6, near the top of page 6:
This asymmetry gives rise to the following problem:
Hosts will likely want information, at some granularity,
about which <source,destination> pairs currently work.
However, the host has no information about how many RGs
are available to the site or if they are currently reachable. So the host can not test the set of <source,destination>
pairs for active paths.
I agree this is a prospective issue in many proposals, and also even in (parts of) the deployed Internet. MANET deployments are particularly likely to run into this issue, but it can also arise in other contexts. Where "to the site" above means "to the local site", I think Teco Boot's BRDP work would be one reasonable approach to this concern. BRDP is nicely generic in its approach. While BRDP is suitable for use with many (all ?) concepts being discussed within Routing RG, BRDP also seems quite suitable for MANETs, mobile networks, and other sorts of IP mobility.
