Are you sure? Just to make sure we are on the same page, PPLB means "Per Packet Load Balancing" RFC1812 describes "load splitting". in section 5.2.4.5 Load Splitting. This cisco explanation of PPLB http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s21/pplb.htm seems to match right up with RFC1812 load splitting. I think they are synonymous. However, if you think they are different, especially if you think they are _completely_ different, then some explanation of the meaning of these terms and their differences should also be in the draft. And doubly so if you really think the differences are important. Do you assert that load-splitting is compatible with the anycast extension in some way that PPLB is not? If they are completely different, perhaps there should be a section on the compability of load-splitting as well. But I'm rather doubtful they are different. --Dean -- Av8 Internet Prepared to pay a premium for better service? www.av8.net faster, more reliable, better service 617 344 9000 _________________________________________________________________ web user interface: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/grow.html web archive: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/grow/
