Toerless, Thanks for the feedback.
I agree that while the IRTF recommendation is generally a valid one, the main reason bringing this to the RTG WG is the lacking concrete place to bring it to instead. I'm happy for any such suggestion. On the concrete insights, this is indeed a valid and good suggestion. Mike presented at yesterday's metaverse side meeting, where the potential applicability of using DCS is more aligned with your overlay suggestion below, at least for those who may look at the metaverse more along the lines of the fediverse, i.e., the federation of permissionless islands providing metaverse experiences to their users. This honing into concrete possibilities of part of what we're trying to do here.

[ And no: with past experience of similar topics, there is too much routing centric expertise required here to make (IMHO) DINRG applicable. ] b) I am always a fan of experimental deployment experience, and maybe one useful next step would be to think about which domain of overlay-network BGP instances might be a good use case where one could build experimental instances not causing trouble for production services. I could think of overlays for VPNs like you can build with LISP (and surely other options) or CDN/CDNI as two example areas. I would be surprised if there would not be more. We have seen technologies proposed (still being proposed) that make a lot more fundamental changes than BGP blockchains, and they can claim success, because they managed to find an overlay network case in which they can flourish.. Cheers Toerless
