Actually, I was summarizing/paraphrasing one of the axes why  nobody wants to 
change.


Geo-addressing would be lovely if you could constrain the network  topology 
and hence the business relationships to implement it.  Since we  have been 
unable to implement such constraints, it follows that this sort of  change is 
not 
what people want.

I think there are enough folks around who are both experts in BGP and  OSPF.
(1):
My question is, what sort of policy/QoS/etc. routing can only be  enabled by 
a distance vector protocol and can in principle not  be enabled by a 
link-state protocol ? (note, but I don't need an  instruction that link-state 
is 
intra-domain, DV is inter-domain)
 
(2):
(my) statement: By knowing a networks topology you can find out all  feasible 
routes/detours. However by knowing just a collection of paths as is  provided 
by the distance vector protocol a router  cannot see all  those paths which 
aren't best or equally best. So my statement is that DV can  only provide about 
a third of the paths, i.e just all ECMP paths. Please correct  me where I am 
wrong.
 
Your expertise is appreciated. I would be very grateful for your  information.

Geo-based  routing means doing routing just as if GPS-based.  




Only in the least interesting way. 

Yes, that's why TARA favors minimal hop count hopping versus shortest  
distance based hopping whenever applicable.

 What is more interesting is how you'd go about actually  implementing it 
without changing all the existing business relationships and  models that 
currently exist.  As soon as you can come up with a plausible  way of 
implementing 
this sort of change, I suspect you'd get a bit more  traction
