I can't speak for John Scudder, but I would guess he means that it doesn't _matter_ whether it matters: that is what folks want to know. We have quite a history of "assuming" that the chain shows which ASs the routing information has traveled. In SIDR we are realizing how easily that can be untrue. It's natural for folks to want to ratify the assumption. Speaking for myself, I'm uneasy about making this a goal _before_ I'm convinced it's reasonable to achieve it. (This doesn't mean I insist on nailing down a solution before setting the goal -- it means I suspect that the goal is not reasonably achievable with current hardware.) -- John Leslie <j...@jlc.net> _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
