Dear all,
We have had a very nice discussion in the previous thread about what
kind of features we would want from the Internet.
We wanted to come back on another interesting point that has been raised
during the side meeting held during IETF 112, namely is where the
innovation happening?
Do you mean on what layer in the stack is innovation happening?
Do you mean on which part of the network: the end node, the core?
Do you mean where on Earth is it happening?

During the discussion in the side meeting, there was a short exchange
between Dino, arguing about “decentralization”, and Michael stating that
we are “rebuilding the edges”; the importance of the role of overlays
was also briefly mentioned.
This is not a simple question, and may lead to an architectural
argument, in line with Dirk K.’s viewpoint that only such architecture
discussion may lead to possible changes to addressing, but also
something that emerged in the previous thread. However, let’s at least
start from the addressing perspective.
Rebuilding the edges and utilizing decentralization may point to some
approach to addressing that is not governed by a common addressing scheme.
For instance, could we instead see a diversity of limited domain
specific addressing schemes with most effort in ‘addressing’ being
placed into the context translation that will need to inevitably happen?
Or shall we instead follow the current path that forces the same context
(IP semantics) to all participating edges (which goes counter the
‘rebuilding the edges’ comment)?
Hence the question we would like to discuss with you on: how/where
innovation, realizing the features discussed in the previous thread,
should happen?
This can help in strengthening the conclusion of the Problem Statement
document
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jia-intarea-scenarios-problems-addressing/
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jia-intarea-scenarios-problems-addressing/>),
in order to provide input on which way to tackle the problem.
