I think that may be due to the fact that we have only examined a few fundamental
aspects of the architecture, and there is more to it than what has been discussed
so far - a *lot* more.  For instance, the reason for wanting both LLAs and SLAs is so
that we can use overlay "L2 bridging" to join disjoint Internetworks together as
though they were one big bridged campus LAN. For example, in civil aviation there
are many network service providers including ARINC, SITA, Inmarsat and others and
each runs their own networks as an independent entity. But, an aircraft connected
to ARINC may need to communicate with an air traffic controller in SITA. OMNI then
views each of the providers as a link *segment* and bridges the segments using
RFC2473 encapsulation with SLAs and BGP router peerings between the providers.
The IPv6 layer then sees this bridged arrangement as a single, connected IPv6 link
and the aircraft and ATC can communicate as peers on the link even though they
are located in different provider networks in the underlay.

When I said "all that has been asked for *so far*", I meant in terms of what has
been discussed on the list up to now. Up to now, the only aspects of OMNI we
have touched on are the LLAs and SLAs, and it is only RFC3879 and RFC4291 that
are in question. So, until we get around to discussing the OAL let's put the other
RFCs aside for now.

Thanks - Fred
