Hello Heiner, You have written a number of messages indicating that there is some radically different, superior and (I guess) simpler approach to the routing scalability problems than those currently being contemplated with LISP-CONS/NERD, eFIT-APT, Ivip, TRRP or various moderate enhancements to BGP.
However, I don't think you haven't written about what you are proposing as an alternative. Your site: http://www.hummel-research.de has a Flash presentation which mentions "Multipath Direction Field MPDF", but Google finds no other mention of this. Where is your proposal clearly documented? Incremental deployment means (perhaps amongst other things) that there are immediate overall benefits for the early adopters of a new technology. Any scheme which requires complete upgrades of all BGP routers, all hosts etc. is not at all incrementally adoptable. Likewise, a scheme in which the address space managed by the new system is unreachable from non-upgraded networks is not incrementally deployable, because virtually all of the people who might initially adopt this new space would find the loss of connectivity a far greater problem than whatever benefits the new system provided. - Robin -- to unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://psg.com/lists/rrg/> & ftp://psg.com/pub/lists/rrg
