I completely agree with that and support the whole thing. The discussion shows that there are quite many opinions and seems that everybody has in mind some problem, which can be solved by new layer and new name space. The forum is needed in order to put those ideas together and find out whether all (or at least some) of them have the same root. /Yuri -----Original Message----- From: Robert Honore [mailto:robert@digi-data.com] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 8:40 PM To: Yuri Ismailov (KI/EAB) Cc: 'Tony Hain'; 'Keith Moore'; ietf@ietf.org; vinton.g.cerf@mci.com Subject: Re: where the indirection layer belongs Dear Folks, Regarding this discussion about an indirection layer, I am thinking we really should propose the formation of some forum for discussion of these issues. It does not seem to fit cleanly into the IPv6 working group, and out here in no-man's-land, I don't think it is getting the kind of attention it needs. I had already made my position clear. We need something. Call it an indirection layer or a stabilisation layer or whatever you want, but we need a forum where we can specify the problem we are trying to solve and to consider the possible solutions for it. Does anybody agree? Yours sincerely, Robert Honore.
