I need to mention one other thing. The IRON approach
uses IPv{4,6}-in-IPv{4,6} encapsulation for any IP
protocol version combinations. The approach can also
support (foo)-in-IPv{4,6} encapsulation, where (foo)
is a non-IP network layer protocol.Fred [email protected] > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Templin, Fred L > Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 9:21 AM > To: IRTF Routing RG > Subject: [rrg] New IRON draft available (FW: > I-DAction:draft-templin-iron-01.txt) > > And now for something completely different, here is a > new version of the Internet Routing Overlay Network (IRON) > that identifies a new business model and new architecture > for supporting scalable provider independent addressing > and multihoming. > > IRON now expects that Virtual Prefix (VP) companies will > set up a business in which they lease portions of their > address space to End User Networks (EUNs) as PI prefixes. > EUNs can then "register" the binding of each PI prefix > with an IP address that was assigned to them by an ISP.
