[lisp] EID Block Drafts

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

I look forward to discussing these drafts at the meeting.

Personally I am a bit confused and uncertain as to what to think about 
whether the allocation is useful.

The draft starts with some motivations which seem to depend upon 
everyone using IPv6 EIDs from the block, as otherwise it appears that 
the decision can not be made as described

Then it gets to the argument about needing EIDs that are not advertised 
in BGP.  This seems to make sense.  That is where we want to end up. 
And blocks which are not for Internet advertisement are not apparently 
what you get from RIRs or even requests for PI space.

But then I wondered.  What about PITRs?  Even if we say that the EID 
block is for cases where addresses are not in the BGP table, the PITRs 
will need to advertise portions of the block.  As far as I can tell from 
the deployment models, we can not even require that the EID block only 
be advertised as a whole, since there seem to be cases for partial 
advertisement by PITRs that only serve part of the space.

So I am back to not knowing quite what works.
Yours,
Joel
