Ummm... No, not in the full generality of how some people use that term. Again, we were chartered to discuss routing and addressing architecture. Forwarding issues typically involve interesting questions about how you can structure your FIB to minimize painful memory accesses, what type of memory to use, how it should be interconnected to your processing element, how to deal with ECMP, dealing with indirect next hops and the like. All of those are out of scope. Regards, Tony _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
