Tony, So even though the routing research group has not come up with a solution that simultaneously addresses all three of these in the last 10 years of focused work, the IPv6 WG will promise to come up with a solution quickly if we just deprecate the only viable approach we know of first. I

Hi Dan, Please help me to understand something. I have been trying to get people to look at the portable identifier/routing problem for _years_. Various people _have_ been looking at this problem for years. In fact, the IPv6 WG toyed with it for a while in the mid-1990s. I agree that this is
