Hi Tony and Lixia, Can you list what decisions the RRG has achieved consensus on?
I think clarity on these points would help us reach consensus on whether to keep open discussions about solutions in the "Translation" and "Transport" areas of the total possible solution space. For instance, is there broad consensus that will the RRG have done its job if we propose a solution which only works with IPv6? The RRG Design Goals only mention IPv4 once and do not mention IPv6 in the body of the text. There is no IPv6 scaling problem and won't be one for many years - until the adoption level rises well beyond the current state, which would take a decade or more at current growth rates. I assumed we were trying to solve the IPv4 routing scaling problem, with an eye to doing something similar for IPv6 - although perhaps not with the same urgency. Do we have consensus that it is acceptable for our solution to require host changes to all hosts which participate in communications which involve the new techniques? For instance if a host-based solution doesn't provide scaling benefits when communicating with a non-upgraded host. Do we have consensus that if the host-based solution by its very nature makes it impossible for the network administrator to control multihoming, portability etc. via central routers, that such an approach provides suitable benefits to the routing system and to those who must adopt it that is likely to be widely enough adopted to make sufficient difference to the routing scaling problem? - 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
