Hi Scott,

Scott Brim escribió:
A few thoughts on this quick draft:

Pure higher-layer approaches aren't acceptable:

  - We knew that already, for operational reasons other than
renumbering, for example the shim6 argument.

what is the shim6 argument?

  - But that doesn't mean those technologies aren't essential, because
    even if an endpoint only has a single locator within a domain,
    both endpoints and networks will be multihomed and/or mobile, so
    they will at least appear to have multiple locators in global
    routing.  Shim6, HIP, SCTP, Multipath ... all are potentially very
    useful.  It's probably outside of the scope of RRG since they do
nothing to solve routing scaling,

what do you mean they do nothing to solve the routing scalability?
If every site and host uses only PA addresses, the routing system would scale in the order of ISPs, reducing the contribution by the multihomed sites.

but it is an extremely important
    area for the future of the Internet.

The question is translation versus encapsulation.

  - That's being hotly discussed outside of RRG, for example AI6.  I'm
    wondering: will RRG's role only be as a forum where people can
    compare the results of the discussions and experiments being done
    elsewhere?

Thanks ... Scott
