I have taken another approach, going after the flat address structure and introducing a hierarchy level on top of the old one. No mapping is needed. And I share your concern about having a mapping database for routing information - guess it would be the main target in a cyberwar situation, either by hacking it or change the legislation in a wartime situation to take control of the database (?) - the question is, is it possible for one nation to take down another nation's Internet infrastructure by getting access to the mapping database?? Note! This is an open question since I haven't studied the mapping solutions in detail -- patte _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
