Thanks, everybody, for sharing your thoughts in this exercise. The discussion has certainly shed some light on the preferred approach of the research group in things routing control. Here is my conclusion:
Solutions should preferably and by default give control over a particular resource to those entities who pay for that resource. In the specific case of ingress link selection, this means that the receiving edge network should be able to choose. Solutions may go beyond this and provide a means for entities to cede (part of) their control. Continuing the example of ingress link selection, a receiving edge network may announce a selection of alternatives from which sending edge networks can choose. - Christian -- 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
