Re: [RRG] Are host-stack modifications allowed or disallowed ?



Dimitri,

section 3.10 of
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-rrg-design-goals-01>

3.10. Deployability


   Since solutions that are not deployable are simply academic
   exercises, solutions are required to be deployable from a technical
   perspective.  Furthermore, given the extensive deployed base of
   today's Internet, a solution is required to be incrementally
deployable.

--> i would state that the solution should not be constrained by which
system (host vs network) will require changes/updates (it may be both at
the end) as long as fulfilling the incremental deployability design
goal.

I would agree. That's already what I said in Prague and after my presentation most attendees seemed to agree.

the real question is: incremental does not necessarily mean impact free
even if a solution initially targets only host or network updates -
which is the open question faced with LISP

I agree. Increamental deployability is not a criteria which is easy to quantify...
