Re: I wonder what is being going on

Shyam,

Specifically:

Marcelo Bagnulo, Alberto Garcia-Martinez, Juan Rodriguez, and Arturo
Azcorra, "The Case for Source Address Dependent Routing in Multihoming",
International Workshop on Quality of Future Internet Services (QofIS
2004), Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, volume 3266).

The authors were at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Leganes, Madrid,
Spain at the time of writing.

This was published in 2004, so your claim to be the first one to put
forth this idea is incorrect.

However, as Fred says, RFC citations are based on "need to know", not
academic precedence.

When I insert a reference into a paper, it's not in the academic sense in which one lists all possible mention of a topic and comments to associate with it or differentiate from it; I refer to a document to help explain some aspect of my thinking, or to lead a reader to some other technology that my thinking depends on. To give an example in the context of another paper, I mention that someone should validate a DNSSEC signature at some point, and I refer to RFC 4035 because it discusses what that means and how one goes about it.
