Re: [P2PSIP] Fwd:New Version Notification for draft-jiang-p2psip-relay-00

I think it's great to see this written up.  While I've argued against
incorporating DRR and RPR into the base spec, I think developing it as
an extension is an excellent idea.   A few high-level comments.

I think the right thing to do is to separate out an p2p-based
implementation of nat-behavior-discovery as a separate usage and put
it in its own draft.  I'm more than happy to contribute to such an
effort.  Note that because nat-behavior-discovery is experimental,
such a draft (and anything that depends on it, such as this) will need
to be experimental as well.

I agree with the decision to use a ForwardingOption for signalling the
desired response address.  But a couple details concern me.
- I'm not sure I agree DESTINATION_CRITICAL needs to be set here.  It
seems like if the responder doesn't support this routing mode, it will
just return via SRR like normal.
- The only complication I see is that reload's SRR allows intermediate
peers to keep state about transactions rather than store the state in
the Via list (5.1.2.2).  Not using SRR would cause such a peer to have
a possible state explosion waiting for transactions to time out.
Options I can think of offhand for solving that are: 1) ignore the
problem, 2) make the ForwardingOption FORWARD_CRITICAL, 3) add a new
flag to the forwarding header that suggests intermediate peers not
keep state.
