Hi ! I am not sure why there is a requirement for subsequent session oriented message to traverse the same intermediary hops which the initial message has traversed. Ultimate requirement is that the session oriented message should landup at the same destination host to which the first message, with respect to that session , has reached. As per RFC the subsequent message shall have the destination host embedded in the message. So irrespective of the path which intermediary message follow, if it reaches to the same destination node, everything shall work fine. Only requirement which is mandatory here is that response message should follow the same route which request message has traversed, to have the correct entry of the hop-by-hop Id. Also there need to be a mechanism so that mapping created at the intermediary hops should be periodically deleted to take care of the scenario of not receiving response from the server ever. i.e If server responds to the resent request from client (which follows the different path) and original request was never answered. Pardon, if I am missing something Regards, -Preeti "Asveren, Tolga" <tasveren@sonusnet.com> 12/11/2007 12:56 AM To "Gil Shafran" <gshafran@traffixsystems.com>, <dime@ietf.org> cc Subject RE: [Dime] Review of draft-tsou-dime-base-routing-ext-03.txt Hi Gil, I think explicit routing issue is more related with visited network (actually any network) trying to make sure that messages for a session traverse some of the intermediaries, which were used during routing of the initial request for that particular session. I don't see this mechanism as the originator of the session enforcing a path (potentially/partly in another network) before the session is established. BTW, intermediaries which do not want to stay on the path don't need to participate. A network with all elements stateful won't have an issue but here the key point is that *all* elements should have the intelligence to select the same next-hope for all requests of a particular session.
