I agree on both counts.
I think the community needs a solution that supports not only site
multi-homing in a scalable way, but that also supports individual
host multi-homing, site mobility, and host mobility -- all integrated
together, with suitable scalability, and including appropriate security
capabilities.
An accidental artifact of IETF processes is that work undertaken
in Working Group A is often undertaken in isolation from work
in Working Group B. This is not the fault of any person, but
just an IETF process artifact that is sometimes unavoidable.
An occasional result is having IETF standards for both A and B,
but that do not necessarily combine together in a harmonious,
integrated, and scalable way.
As this is the IRTF, and as "architecture" is explicitly within
scope, it would be good if we considered the broader set of issues
as the Routing RG examines different architectural alternatives.
Yours,
Ran
