Re: [rrg] moving towards recommendation: the current plan

[Christian Vogt <[e-mail]>]

Folks -

In response to Lixia's call for RRG solution proposals, I would like to
suggest, again, the name-based sockets described in the paper below,  
as an
identifier-locator separation method with good deployability properties.

http://christianvogt.mailup.net/pub/2009/vogt-2009-name-oriented-sockets.pdf

The following earlier email of mine explains why identifier-locator
separation in general, and name-based sockets in particular, address the
routing scalability problem:

Please note that the above paper is under continuous evolution regarding
its engineering aspects, so as to take into account the feedback I am
receiving publicly and privately.
