Re: [P2PSIP] UNSAF considerations and draft-ietf-p2psip-drr

Hi Gonzalo,
During the WG discussion we were asked to have in the main body just the
case of manage networks and leave in the informational appendix A some
informational text about finding routable addresses since it was clear that
there is no guarantee that it will work. I do not think that it is the
purpose of this document to discuss the whole topic of finding routable
addresses, we are just pointing at available options. The idea is that there
is always a fall back to SRR
