Re: Consensus on identifier/locator split?

[Eliot Lear <lear@cisco.com>]

Noel and all,

How ought we (if at all) deal with the notion of a virtual end point 
such as a "content routed" service like CNN?  Particularly in the face 
of mobile nodes.  If we deal with it at all we don't want TCP 
connections breaking, and yet one wants to find the closest server 
hosting this identity (whatever that means).  I raise this because one 
way of looking at the answer would be to simply have a server appear 
with multiple agencies in the routing system.  That's inelegant and 
expensive.  DNS and anycast is incomplete due to mobility.

If CNN doesn't do it for you, think some sort of media gateway service 
(a 'la your long distance company or Vonage or some such).

Regards,

Eliot
