Howard, Do you think that the current flattening of the topology will result in instability on the internet ? Is there current proposal to replace BGP as the current EGPs on the internet.
I don't have the detail, but about one or two years back, you mentioned that traffic engineering as it is, on the internet faced difficulties due to basic concepts of EGPs, i.e. you cannot control traffics once it leave your AS.. how has that change in the last 2 years ? The problem still exists that if I cannot be certain where I'm connecting from, I cannot traffic engineer since inter-AS co-operations are necessary... ""Howard C.
