Re: Adoption Call for "The IPv6 Compact Routing Header (CRH)"

[Miya Kohno <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

I do not support this proposal.

At first glance it may look good because it adheres to the conventional
IPv6 standards, but in reality it is not.

- Many additional control planes [*] need to be developed,  in order to
make CRH work.

- And more importantly, it interferes the evolution of IPv6.
  -- There is a simpler, more scalable way to do it, but CRH can delay it,
sticking to the existing convention.
  -- This can take away the potential of IPv6 itself.
  -- IPv6 should evolve. Otherwise, we have no choice but to give way to
the new Non-IP or IPvx proposals.

Thanks!
Miya
