[NSIS] RE: Crossover node discovery issue

hi Seong Jeong,

thanks for the comment and apologies for the slow response.

in the framework document, i would prefer to look purely at a
definition of what the crossover router is rather than mechanisms
for how to discover it (which would be more of a protocol issue).

i think my current definition of x-over router would be:
the NSLP aware node which, for a given session id, has one neighbour
NE in one direction but two neighbour NEs in the other, and
this situation may be transient (re-routing case) or long-term
(multihoming case). this would probably require more wordsmithing.

on the security issues, i think these are important to discuss, but
at the moment I think they are more signalling application specific
than NSIS generic so all we can do is talk generally. what I would
really like to see is some discussion on this list of hannes' draft
on the issue, 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-tschofenig-nsis-sid-00.txt
(which is very short and easy to read!)

cheers,

robert h.
