[lisp] #22: rough support for fixing MS requires XTRs to consume packets not address to them

[Sam Hartman <[e-mail]>]

Based on discussion so far, there appears to be a rough consensus in
favor of changing the MS/MR protocol so that XTRs do not need to
consume packets not addressed to them.  I'm going to start a one week
timer on this; any objections should be received by September 18.  If
there are no significant objections we'll declare rough consensus on
the technical direction proposed in the issue at
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/lisp/trac/ticket/22.  Joel provided a bit
more detail on the cross-AFI case.

Obviously we would have a later consensus call on specific text.

I raised the issue.  Dino raised concerns about the cross-AFI case.
My original proposal and Joel's response contained solutions to Dino's
concerns.  Margaret also expressed support.  This is one of the
threads where there isn't really a lot of discussion of things other
than issue #22 with that subject line.

That said, this call is being made more to move the discussion along
than because I have high confidence we're done.  I do think there is
sufficient support to call consensus on a rough technical direction if
no one comments.  However I also suspect this message will result in
comments.  That's fine.  The goal here is to move along discussions
and to make steady progress, not to shut out discussion.
