Re: [irtf-discuss] Update on "Challenges for the Internet Routing Infrastructure Introduced by Changes"

[Marie-Jose Montpetit <[e-mail]>]

I think it would be nice if your document was putting more focus on the proposed architecture and the applications that could need your new addressing. Also I think there are three layers here: address (IP or IP like), meta data and data. Of course you could route on any or all of them which I think is what you propose. And the more you go from simple ‘this is where I want to go’ into how and why complexity increases and speed goes down. Maybe you should also highlight performance aspects  more clearly. There is a link to the COIN work where discovery and essentially in-router computations would add new potential for routing algorithms.
