So to be clear, I didn't intend to propose a web of trust model, although after rereading my text from earlier, my point wasn't clear. I was simply pointing out that with a model such as what's currently proposed RIRs would have a VERY operational role and some authority about what gets routed and what does not. This is a fundamental change from how things work today, where things more approximate a web of trust model - if any. -danny _______________________________________________ Sidr mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
