Re: [spring] CRH is back to the SPRING Use-Case - Re: Size of CR in CRH

[Robert Raszuk <[e-mail]>]

John,

Draft under the adoption call as well as its author sent 10s if not more
messages stating that CRH-SIDs are **locally significant*. *

Now after few discussions about scaling aspects of such design choice you
are suddenly stating:

*" one exemplary solution to your objection is to make use of
globally-unique (per domain, of course) identifiers"*

so at this point the main characteristics of the proposal seems at least
very elastic.

With that what exactly is the proposal 6man is subject to adopt if it is
fundamentally changing every day ?

Note that if IDs are globally domain wide significant then you suddenly
need to worry about ID space collision. Would next the index would be
introduced just like SR-MPLS addresses that problem ?

I remain with my opinion that current draft is not even stable enough for
adoption in any WG.

Regards,
Robert.
