All, After presenting the initial draft on ROSA (routing on service addresses) at the IETF115, we have been working on an update, which you can find below.
Apart from welcoming additional co-authors (Jens Finkhaeuser, Daniel Huang, and Paulo Mendes), we have been working on several comments we received in discussions with community members (many thanks for those who engaged with us on this topic). In more detail, the following changes can be found in the update: 1. Restructured introduction to improve readability and argumentation for this draft 2. Addressing IETF115 comments in various parts of the draft, e.g., introduction, analysis (relation to other technologies), traffic steering (relation to anycast) etc 3. Added six new use cases (mobile applications - Section 3.4, chunk retrieval - Section 3.5, AR/VR - Section 3.6, Cloud-to-Thing - Section 3.7, Metaverse - Section 3.8, and popularity-based services - Section 3.9) 4. Added separate analysis section, as derived from use cases (Section 4) 5. Revised and linked requirements to use cases through additional text (Section 5) 6. Discussed possible benefits from applying ROSA in identified use cases (Section 6) 7. Revised ROSA messages figure (Figure 2) 8. Added section on possible extended capabilities to 'base' ROSA (Section 8), including multi-homing support, namespace support. 9. Added and maintaining open issues (Section 10) 10. Added missing sections, like conclusions (Section 11) and privacy considerations (Section 13) We would welcome any comments and thoughts on this work, its motivation and argumentation as well as possible ways forward. Any interest for contribution is also very welcome. We plan on capturing any inputs into a possible update before IETF116 and would very much like to present this work for discussion in the RTGWG when we will meet at IETF116. We are also looking into demonstrating aspects of ROSA at the IETF; happy to receive any interest in such demonstration.

Such approach is meant to transition away from locator-based addressing (and thus routing and forwarding) to an addressing scheme where the address semantics relate to services being invoked (e.g., for computational processes, and their generated information requests and responses). The document introduces Routing on Service Addresses (ROSA), as a realization of what is referred to as 'service-based routing' (SBR), to replace the usual DNS+IP sequence, i.e., the off-path discovery of a service name to an IP locator mapping, through an on-path discovery with in-band data transfer to a suitable service instance location for a selected set of services, not all Internet-based services. SBR is designed to be constrained by service-specific parameters that go beyond load and latency, as in today's best effort or traffic engineering based routing, leading to an approach to steer traffic in a service-specific constraint-based manner. Particularly, this document outlines sample ROSA use case scenarios, requirements for its design, and the ROSA system design itself.
