mic comments on presentation of draft-pfister-6man-sadr-ra-00

[Alexandru Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

Please allow me to reiterate the mic comments I had during the
presentation of draft-pfister-6man-sadr-ra-00.

Encoding source prefix in an RA, along with RIO, is making sense.

But when it comes to specifying the Host (and Router, for that matter)
behaviour do source-based routing, things are less clear.

I think we do not have a specification of dst-based routing in first
place, and as such adding src-based routing could only be less clear.

What's the place of a default route in the dst-based longest match
followed by the src-based longest match?  If src-based longest prefix
match search finds nothing, will it hit a 'src-based' default route?  Or
hit the existing dst-based default route?  If the former, would it take
precedence over the dst-based def route?

How will it behave when the unspecified address is used as src?

Will it be CIDR/SADR?  Or search only the first 64 bits?

An earlier commenter asked about the Default Router Preference, and
Lifetimes in the RA - will this apply to src-based routing as well?
Will we have a src-based default router address in an RA?
