In draft-crocker-mast-analysis-01 (now expired), the concept of "multiaddressing" for solving multihoming and mobility problems is explained. The HIP groups and multi6 are focusing on multiaddressing solutions built for "simple" transports that can only bind to a single address with no means to update or extend that binding when it might be required by mobility or multihoming. Adding a wedge-layer to map dynamic locators to fixed identifiers fixes these problems and allows the transport to go untouched and remain simple. A drawback of such wedge-layers, Mobile IP, and other systems that hide mobility (or multihoming) from the transport is that current transport mechanisms are not nearly "agile" enough to deal with end-to-end path changes that can pop up instantly. The transport is where all the path estimates are stored (congestion control variables, RTTM, PMTUD, etc) and making non-trivial path changes without some explicit signalling to the transport can be dangerous. If we're going to see multiaddressing wedge layers deployed, then it seems like we should have a slightly richer interface between the wedge and the transport so that reinitialization and reestimation of path state can happen rapidly. Architectures that don't include such wedges are what we were considering in draft-eddy-tlmarch-00 (presented last week). The idea of rapidly fixing the transport's path estimation variables is roughly visible in draft-swami-tcp-lmdr-04. For architectures that *do* include wedges, some similar form of signaling and responding to path changes is still _required_. Signaling has to occur both between the wedge and transport locally and remotely, so that both half-connections can be fixed. Responses to these signals will have to be implemented per-transport protocol. It's not entirely clear to me how we can combine the strengths of a multiaddressing wedge layer with the rapid-response of path property estimates that we can have without the wedge in a transport layer mobility scheme. Thoughts? -Wes
