Thanks for the feedback.

1) How do you feel that we are not supporting the LUF/LRF concepts?  Can't a Destination Group and its associated Route Group be used to return a URI whose domain name is the one that requires as an output of the LUF?  Or is there something that I'm missing?

2) What specifically would need to be done to the protocol to make it more useful for your company's likely applications?

Ken

Subject: [drinks] Comment on today's drinks discussion

I've been away from the design group for a while since the focus seemed to shift more to lower level design issues outside of my bailiwick but I came away from today's IETF discussion with an uncomfortable feeling about where the drinks effort is heading.
One the one hand I feel that some of the issues we agreed to set aside to narrow scope (LUF/LRF) are coming back to haunt us and on the other that the effort is straining as Otmar suggests to accommodate more and more complexity that should, perhaps be handled elsewhere. Perhaps these are different sides of the same coin.
I for one have concerns about how useful the resulting protocol is likely to be, at least for my company's likely applications.
