Re: [Trust-router] Considering delaying BOF Request

[Josh Howlett <[e-mail]>]

Thanks David.

I am *not* advocating that you do this :-) but I should note that its
perfectly valid to employ ABFAB with X.509 PKI (using certificates with
RadSec, rather than the PSKs acquired from Trust Router).

(I would personally argue that you are able to construct a much more
coherent infrastructure using both ABFAB and Trust Router, but
architectural coherency is perhaps a matter of taste; in any event we do
not have long to wait until we have an operational infrastructure with
which to test these notions of coherency and taste to destruction!).

In any case, I look forward to hearing about the results of your work when
that's done, as that will really help to inform this kind of discussion.

Josh.
