This argument fails for exactly the same reason that geographically based BGP aggregation fails. Brian, who has ever done it ? Why do you say this and what do you mean by saying this ? It must be something quite different from what I understand. This thread "Aggregatable EIDs" is concerned about aggregating EIDs and the problems with mapping the prefixes to RLOCs. This objective wouldn't even exist if both EID and RLOC-ID are asigned a "third" information (I proposed it not long ago) which itself is universally routable and which wouldn't need any authoritative provisioner either. No need for aggregating any two EIDs! No need for mapping any EID-IP-address to any RLOC-IP-address provided that they share a common attribute that is derived from geographical coordinates. By sticking to non-routable identifiers none of the 14 solutions becomes any better than LISP. Note, not only IPv4 / IPv6 addresses are non-routable, AS numbers aren't either. With 99 % of the hosts being mobile, wouldn't it be appropriate to have mainly provider-independent FQDNs and a DNS that is fairly up-to-date with the correlation between a respective HIT and the current location, i.e. completely independent of the current AS? The geographic coordinates would be the only non-mobile data in a world of mobile hosts, mobile routers and fast changed providers Heiner
