'this' refers to which of the two items above? > about the AS Path in relation to other things, and then work on filling > that goal. I thought I covered this (a few times?) on the list discussion of the reqs-00 draft, but I'd like to know if an update I see from a peer, if selected, is one in which a party altered the as-path in order to draw traffic to them. It's possible this happens for any number of reasons, the simplest (and easiest to point to being 'bad') is: <http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/08/how-to-intercep/> In this case, with signing of the path at each path-hop you would be able to determine if the route announcement should be used or not (presuming a 'secure is better' policy, of course). > Starting with the assumption that proving an update travels a specific > path seems, to me, to be going about things the wrong way. propose text then? dancing around the rosemary bush is tiring, given the ideas expressed here and in the other thread you should have an idea of what the goal is, propose some text that you think moves the ball in the right direction, please. -chris _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
