No, I do not think we need to try again to rephrase the problems. I actually think a compressed repetition might well be harmful, and if not harmful is unlikely to be helfpul.

Hi Heiner,

[... Discussion on scalability]
This really seems like material for the problem statement, more than the design 
goals.

This is true. But a such compressed repetition wouldn't be bad, particularly as 
the design goals should respond to these problems. Very easily this or that 
problem can slip out of focus ( e.g. the RIB size, e.g. the  tighter meshing), 
accordingly this or that design goal.


Do other folks feel this way?  I have a hard time believing that we need 
another restatement here.


For multi-homing, there's already a separate section.  I'm not understanding 
what changes you're recommending.
1.I can give you an example from my TARA-draft: If you fill the forwarding 
table t1 with the alternative next hop, temporarily, you will enable fastest 
alternate routing too.
2.Today I received draft-ietf-rtgwg-ipfrr-notvia-addresses-06.txt. If my 
BeyondSPF proposal were very poor, then this draft is poorest. Comparably my 
BeyondSPF-algorithms are lightyears ahead. My thinking is this:
Why not apply them inter-domain ?!!


Ok, I'm getting your point.  I propose the following text at the end of Section 
3.1:

        If a solution includes support for alternative routes to support faster
        convergence, the alternative routes should also factor into control 
plane
        scalability.

Does that work for you?

Tony
