I have looked through the document but I think it is not exactly what I thought 
of.
 
I am just thinking of solution in which the backbone can use AS-number in the 
forwarding architecture. I does not mean that we need to change everything. It 
may be other reasons for larger changes of the routing architecture but I 
didn't consider it as necessary as a part of this proposal.

        Hi Lar,

         

        You can have a look at ENCAPS or HRA 
(http://www.huawei.com/file/download.do?f=3073), which are based on AS/LD-level 
routing.

         

        Best wishes,

        Xiaohu XU

        主题: [RRG] yetAnotherProposal: AS-number forwarding

         

        Hi, 
        I haven't had time to make a draft but I think it make sense for the 
discussion. However, I don't know if it already have been discussed so....

        The proposal are simple: re-use AS-numbers into the forwarding of 
packets such that prefixes could be aggregated per AS. One simple implemetation 
is that the packets are tunneled and that the tunnel-address is associated to a 
AS-number. The AS-numbers can be assigned to the IP-addresses by DNS or by 
define a small address-prefix to AS-numbers.
