Out of curiosity, which part of the problem space do you think would
benefit the most from additional basic science before turning it over
to an engineering effort?
Bill,
I believe that there are significant chunks of the solution space
outside of the pure routing architecture area that are worth
exploring. The input that we've seen from Mark Handley suggests that
we've been thinking very much inside of our box and that there are
alternatives.
Even within the routing area, I don't believe that we've fully
explored the solution space in either the mapping area or in the
actual relaying mechanism.
On the relaying front today, we have encapsulation and translation.
What else is there?
On the mapping area, we have push systems and pull systems. Both
have substantial drawbacks. Are there better hybrids? Are there
alternatives?
I'd certainly welcome convincing arguments that we've done a decent
job in considering either of these solution spaces.
