RE: Routing

Reducing the dynamic path implies that you're extending the static information.

If that information is effectively static (e.g., a singly homed site), then having

that information be static is a fine things.  Certainly what most folks do with

tail circuits today.

 

However, static routing to key locations locks you into those static paths, which may

then fail.  What now?

 

Note that you can do dynamic routing to a key location (a landmark) and then dynamic

routing from there, but you quite possibly lose out on more optimal paths.  I believe

that someone has written a paper on just this, tho I can't confess to representing it.

Routing making it better:

 

Reduction of dynamic routing path would make routing better?

 

Static routes for key Locations as part of the above reduction would improve routing?
