Re: [Idr] [Can] Proposed CAN WG charter for discussion

[Joel Halpern <[e-mail]>]

It is not obvious that you need to inject the anycast address for the 
network service steering into the underlay routing.  You may. And for 
some deployments that would be IGP, and others it may be scope bounded 
BGP.  But I can also envision solutions (which is not what we are 
discussing) which do not require such injection. So it is not obvious 
that we need the restriction.

Yours,

Joel
