Re: [RRG] Re: [RAM] Different approaches for different protocols




The problem for sites arises if different ISPs give them different
prefix lengths --- that will really mess things up at the subnet
level.


No, you just zero out the prefix to the length that applies for that connection. As long as your subnetting fits within the longer prefix, you're still fine. If not, then you need a shorter prefix...


Sure. There's plenty of space to do that. But don't forget the
other big problem of 8+8 or GSE -- the transport layer has to be
fixed up too, unless you can arrange for all goops to have the
same checksum ;-)


Not a problem if, as you suggested, the host can be forged^Wtrained into always expecting the most significant bits to be zero and if the CE is always stepping on the inbound bits.
