OK.
Would you agree that: IF the host selects the Source Locator,
which (as you say) is NOT what the GSE documents say, then
the source host could use the same strategy as in today's Internet
(e.g. search the space of available <s,d> pairs to find a workable
pair).
To the extent that folks agree with the above, it would be helpful
to add discussion of this as a current issue in the Meyer & Lewis
draft.
Be glad to, to the extent that I agree.
Thanks.
To the extent that folks disagree with the above, then it would
be helpful if the Meyer & Lewis draft explained why folks believe
the existing deployed Internet does not have the same issue,
and at least describe why the scenario outlined above doesn't.
See above. Most of that text is already in the
draft. What could be added is how hosts work today
(without any loc/id split technology). Is that what you
are looking for? That seems a good idea if so.
Adding discussion of how things work today, including when a
multi-homed source talks with a multi-homed destination (where
multi-homed means that a node has connections to more than one
IP subnet at the same time) would be really great.
Having the current deployment case presented and discussed
provides a nice baseline for comparison.
Thanks very much,
Ran
