RE: [RRG] Hosts, DFZ, purity & incremental deployment

[Randall Atkinson <rja@extremenetworks.com>]

Earlier, Robin Whittle said:
                  If we used a new space for identification, that
                  would require major changes to operating systems
                  and applications on the hosts at both ends of a
                  communication - which is not incrementally
                  deployable.


It is not obvious to me that changing operating systems
(and/or applications) necessarily prohibits incremental
deployment.  draft-rja-ilnp-intro-00.txt provides a specific
example of a host stack change architecture that I believe
to be incrementally deployable.  At least some major host OS
vendor folks agree with that assessment.
