That idea has been advanced quite a few times, but there is not a whole lot of code written or products deployed. There are a few interesting issues, e.g. the cost of tunneling versus in terms of overhead or management, or the deployment of adequate source address selection policies. Actually, rather than tunneling, have we seriously consider flat host based routing in a corporate network? A combination of DHT and caching technologies ought to make that quite scalable. > > Of course, Iljitsch points an interesting issue.

Direct Access certainly does not require that enterprises deploy NAT66... -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
