This memo overviews the need for intra-domain Host specific routing 
(HSR) in the Internet. Host Specific Routing provides a number of 
benefits if route entry and look-up scalability issues can be 
adequately addressed. These benefits are the enabling of flat 
routing domains that eliminate the need for hierarchy and associated 
configuration, and the potential to support rapid movement of IP 
addresses through the routing fabric. This draft describes some of 
the current work in this area, including TORA and Wireless Internet 
Protocol (WIP), and the as yet unresolved research issues associated 
with large-scale host routing. This draft requires and makes no 
topological assumptions for HSR. Specifically it does not require a 
strict tree, as implied by CIP and HAWAII. These micro-mobility 
protocols do however share many of the scalability and inter-
protocol issues associated with host specific routes.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
