With NUTSS the destination is (probably) seen in routing from the start, but signaling is required to set up a desirable path. Here the problem is that neither source nor destination is globally routed. I'm concerned about scaling. That's a lot of dynamic state in the core routers, precisely where we don't want it. He's probably better off source-routing. See NIMROD <http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/nimrod/docs.html> and remember what it stands for! :-) He should also see the proposals in the Routing Research Group <http://www3.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/RoutingResearchGroup> swb _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
