Re: [RRG] Six/One: A (Different) Solution for Routing and Addressing in IPv6
Unfortunately, distributing policy is NOT the same as having an
effective policy. In an enterprise of any significant size, the
number of hosts that is not completely under the control of the
local administration can be quite large. Those host may or may not
comply with the policy as distributed, either due to
non-implementation of the policy mechanisms, incorrect
implementation, or outright malfeasance.
Tony,
FWIW, the issue you are raising does pertain to pure host-based
routing and addressing solutions such as Shim6, but not to combined
host/network-based solutions such as Six/One.
In Six/One, the edge network is still in charge of selecting a
provider: Hosts can only /suggest/ a provider; it's the edge network
which finally /decides/ whether or not to grant that suggestion. This
means that, in Six/One, there is no need to define a provider
selection policy and distribute it to hosts.
