Alia, ack 100%. I’m just hanging in the bleachers with my helmet strapped on and waiting for IDR & L2VPN wizards to open the fray but so far stuff’s been astonishingly quiet ;-) tony

My points were though: 1. I didn't see 'running large datacenters' as something on RTGWG charter and it's also typically something that is first driven by larger set of requirements rather than a single datapoint. As I said earlier, this falls into the other work and handling individual drafts without a home. It's a way of getting the review and consensus for drafts that would otherwise be AD-sponsored. I agree that this is a change from how rtgwg has been used in the past. 2. A blueprint of a particular solution is exactly that. It is not a generic protocol specification or guideline that will fi t e'one. If you have multi-TS which bring their own existing addresses or need MAC mobility or have to run L2 applications or don't have BGP implementation with necessary twists or other tid-nits which tons of DC happen to carry about then the shoe may not fit. Absolutely - this is a starting point that gives one idea. > even getting to 10000s of routing nodes is not the end of the world. > [Tony said] We know that from a running thing called the 'Internet' ;-P I know I took it out the context but I couldn't resist the tongue-in-cheek pun possible ;-) Again, looking fwd' to presentation and discussion on the floor. Please - start the discussion here and now! I was delighted to see how many people were clearly familiar with the work and thought it was a good idea to discuss. Let's get some good reviews and suggestions so the draft can be much better before the next IETF.
